Top Shelf Lyrics

Gingham dress

And some cut spring vegetables

Afternoon sunlight

In an Eichler atrium

The neighborhood's cozy

And the jack russell's playful

The scene reads like a Raymond Carver mouthful

My aunt left to go

Pull the from the top shelf

Maybe some drinks can calm us down

Last we spoke

Your son was still alive

The facade was

The world could still be put in line

I haven't cried

In three months you said

I'm all dried up

Like the drought just reared its head!

It was my car crash

That tweaked his back

My family assured me

Don't take the blame like that

He was overprescribed

And had an issue long before the incident

But my aunt still looks at me

And sees her boy that's missing
