LIGHT FROM A TRAILER

Fall lightly on your knees
Beneath the poplar trees
The memories that hound you

What passed above her head
Amazing grace she said
I love it when you’re singing

And when the past forgave
I heard an angel wave
I’m far away from danger
A light from a trailer

Picked up from hand to mouth
A remnant of the South
A Mississippi mansion

A mobile S.R.O.
For nomads on the go
The cinderblocks and pavement

And when the past forgave
I heard an angel wave
I’m far away from danger
A light from a trailer

And when my ship comes in
To see from where I’ve been
A moment to get even

And come the good ol’ days
Of fish fries and parades
I’ll settle here forever

And when the past forgave
I heard an angel wave
I’m far away from danger
A light from a trailer
