Tom Sawyer (You Know Where You Can Find Me) Songtext
von Laura Stevenson

Are you with us?
Is your skin intact or what?
Did you get my messages?
Are you paying your bills still?
Do you miss us?
Pray tell you've been the picture of good health
Tom Sawyer in the rafters
With your laughter you're
Collecting mourners in your afterliving room
One by one, they call your name
They call the number that you gave them
And take it door to door
Make patterns of art, from patterns of origins
Are you with us?
Does it hurt more where you are?


Can you make do?
I'm the one with the white door
And the car in the side-yard
It's the one with the lights up on the poles on the front porch
It's enough so we won't talk
On the space where you held up
And the way that you told us
The day you went dark
And you know
It's hard to show back up at all
When you're gone long
And I could still assume
The worst if you want
Or worse if you want me to
Can you make do?
