In a Fable - Chris Cohen

Every afternoon

you sat your stuff down on the table

I wonder what you’re up tonight

Father is a neighbour

Ooooh

It’s coming back to me

The morning-dogs hollow sound

When day’s almost over

It’s been a long time

That love’s no longer mine

But it’s still yours

Ooooh, in a fable

In a fable

They say things end, that’s how it’s s’posed to be

I’m nodding yes, you know I don’t agree

Just in a fable

Just in a fable

When mothers gone, we’ll pack your things and leave
