Like a Tea Cozy.

Lady, tell me something I don't know. Mama, say goodnight so I can go.

Lantern like your sailing breath.
Drive from home till way past there.
From my house inside this tree.
Warm like hand down tea cozy.

Like the town where no one knows your name. Pull the cover--warm and cold-- the same.

Life like, press the glass, all asleep like that, tumble, curves and shiver, race past fall to winter.
