Marking Time Lyrics

12 sharp I headed out

Took the metro on the red line

Down to union station

Forecast said it would be raining

But the sky is so bright

Next I'm standing, waiting

In the McDonalds line

Around 1:39

Tried to grab a mocha

But my card got declined

The 2:20 train is heading out

As I watch the apartments go by

The siloes and the junkyards

'Neath a September sky

2:35

is when Rosemary died

Trying to keep balance on a bus

Like a vagrant

With a group of tourists from Slovakia

On their way to Vegas

'Fore I know it I'm through security

At the gate with a bit of time

So I stop by the Greene Turtle

Take a Glenlivet and

Some crab soup, her favorite

Then catch my flight by five

High above the Potomac the sun's shining through the window it's 6:00 on a Tuesday the 6th day of the 9th month

I'm on my way back to Atlanta

Remembering her smile
