    Drunken song lines.

    Dear dead Daddy
    It won't be long
    till my wedding day
    Yes it will.
    I've been down
    to the bottom
    of another bottle
    an I was wondring aloud
    how much love
    does it take?
    Another delivery man
    rings my bell,
    presses my button
    and all the hangers
    in my closet
    can go hang
    but I've never forgotten you
    through the haze
    of feeling so damn good,
    where some fools
    fool themselves I guess.
    Now I'm falling slowly
    and there is no pain
    I am receding.
    Dear dead Daddy
    It won't be long
    till my wedding numb.

    "there is no pain

    Of late, when I read your poem I cry... it is as if pain were louder than art, but both so powerful.

    Ah, and yes, what a strange coincidence! times are tough and drinking softens them...

    lol. I was inspired by an internet ad while listening to the songs on my play list (while drinking tea)

    Yes Hawk, Gotta love Floyd and figured since it was the last song on the list - what the hell.....!

    Loved it but what the hell is a wedding numb?

    For those who believe,
    no explanation is necessary.
    For those who do not,
    none will suffice.
