Look at the shadow on our tree
Seems we'll meet an early dusk
Loretta looked up, the grey sky low
Two-by-two on the bus
Water and anger in our house
Though she spoke of rainbows
Reaching the roof with soaking shoes
River's up, where'd she go?
You're wiser, oh Loretta
You're wiser, and only twenty-five
Churning, the TV floating by
Through our room, out the door,
Loretta, she prayed for what to do
If it rained anymore
She was a wash-cloth wet with love
I was not, she was mine
I'm in the olive tree next door
River's up to my eyes
You're wiser, oh Loretta
Much wiser, and only just in time
