DOMESTIC VIOLETS We laughed and we cried We had some drinks Like pigs in denial Like morbid chimps Tell me what you think What to make of this Can we fill in the gaps Make a pretty house and live happily Cover up our tracks Build up a terrace above the oblivion And cut down the trees and let the sun in Into the night Now lonley days like cans of maze And rags that are soaked in ether Didn't seem so bad when he was there The sky was filled with daffodils The nights dazzled in domestic violets Grew behind her smile To keep in denial
