I’ve been doing things

that I can’t explain,

going for walks

in the driving rain.

I thought I saw Lulu

headed home again,

coming up Apache Lane.

 

But Lulu’s gone the way

of my sweet Baboo.

Have to take the old

and try and make it new.

Sometimes, it’s just

about feeling blue.

Coming up Apache Lane.

 

Time freezes when you watch it

then it moves so fast;

a minute lasts forever

while your life flies past.

It was pouring when I left,

now it’s overcast.

I’m coming up Apache Lane.

 

So many gone before me,

I lost all count.

All I know today

is it’s a huge amount.

I thought I saw Lulu

headed home again,

coming up Apache Lane.

 

And it feels the same

every place I’ve been.

It starts out sunny

then the clouds move in.

I try to give names

to the passing clouds,

end up on my knees,

bloody and bowed.

I got nothing, really,

I’m just thinking out loud.

Coming up Apache Lane.

 

I’ve been doing things

that I can’t explain,

going for walks

in the driving rain.

I thought I saw Lulu

headed home again,

coming up Apache Lane.
