Neighbors come, into our kitchen Bring finger rolls, pastry and consolation I take off the plastic wrap And my tears fall Low down low I walk room to room They don't feel right yet You left your car keys, pocketbook, and cigarettes I prop your pillow and pull the shades
Low down low No tomorrow coming down It's coming down low Wall clock pendulum Swings slow and heavy Sun crawls in I gotta make myself ready Black dress with pearls hanging on the door Low down low
