Regina

Regina Reprise 8/23/1967-11/12/2011

Back when I drank like I would never die
I had a friend, Regina
We dreamed together in the lazy space 
Before adulthood stole us
Bridges to Babylon with wind at Vandy Stadium.
We said goodby as I left with my spouse
For Nashville in our brown Ford 
Over the years we gained and lost

[Regina]….I always thought that
I'd see you again.

On the internet I searched your face, Regina
And found you in old news
Down Hardscrabble Pinnacle a woman fell
Slipping on leaves into another plane
It’s the only picture I recall ever seeing of you
My memories together are much clearer
Sure’d like to see you standing on that rock
So we’d light a fire in the rain again
