they don't call me Elizabeth anymore

v1 to the next town to the next city 
off-shore thunder strikes
when the wind stops and the afternoon glows
pinks oranges and reds
midwest lightning bugs at twilight
soprano in a muʻumuʻu
spot on girls day card
i miss you already, darling

(pre-chorus) i'll remember you will you remember me
will you see me hesitating 
and come holler at me
greet me with a complaint 
cough, wink, smile
I just didn't have enough time
you'll roll your eyes
(chorus) i've got stories that will live forever
i've made up my mind we'll hit the ballgames
casinos and museums
offend the artist in the galleries
just you wait and see

they don't call me Elizabeth anymore

When Dusty Rhodes passed away Fergal Devitt tweeted, "See you at the next 'town' Dream!" I'll say the same to you, my beloved Friend. I am so blessed to have met you. Here's to watching a game together in another dimension. I can hear you yelling at me to finish my books. Will do, Boss. Will do. I love you so much. Me ke aloha.
