Jim Wise - Sun Kil Moon
Spent the day with my dad
And his old friend,
Jim wise. He's on house arrest
And he sits around inside.
We brought him food from panera bread,
The snoring sun rolled out of bed.
He talked about his ninety corvette,
His warehouse job,
And his knee replacement.
Jim wise mercy killed
His wife in a hospital at her bedside.
And he put the gun to his head
and it jammed and he didn't die.
He went to trial all summer long
And his eyes welled up
When he told us about
How much she loved the backyard garden
And the budding rosebush.
She loved the garden,
And its budding rosebush.
Spent the day with my dad,
And his friend jim wise.
Spent the day with my dad
And his old friend,
Jim wise. He's got a big thick ankle bracelet
And he can't go outside.
he's got a long white amish man's beard
And a catheter.
And he'll be headed to
Mansfield prison by the end of the year for sure.
His shelves are sticky old ratty boards.
His albums are the doors and stevie nicks.
his kitchen cabinets are full of baked beans.
His tv is sound, words flash across the screen
And he stares off into dead air.
Jim wise killed his wife out of love
for her at her bedside.
And then he put the gun to his head
But he failed at suicide.
his trial's coming up in the fall
And he sighed when we stepped out
And we left. And i pointed out the pretty
Cardinal perched on the empty birdbath.
The bright red cardinal,
The empty birdbath.
Spent today with my dad
And his friend jim wise.
