So Hard To Say Goodnight
Pinups 1973

Cara Losier Chanoine

Here comes the night,
out there playing
high-class games of sorrow,
his arms walking
down my street.
Devil’s daughter
can’t resist his money,
romance by the break
of day.
She’s often inclined
to borrow someone else’s dreams:
hide and seek, as sure as sin.
Funny
how they look so good
together.

I couldn’t sleep
last night,
feet off the ground,
nowhere to roam.
I can’t say it
to you,
but crying
by the break of day,
worried dizzy
in the head—
this depression
had an easy ride
on the shape
of my lonely frame.

They’re turning down the lights;
there is no other day.
A comeback
won’t do me no good,
so tonight, I’ll spend my bread.
Bring me from town
to town,
and we’ll have our living made.
Not even locked doors
get in my way.

I’m a worried guy.
Time and tide destroy
my brain, my eyes just teach me
to despise.
I get funny dreams,
maybe they’re true,
but worry always felt
the same.
It’s a hot, certain kind
of feeling,
needs some bringing down.

I can live
anyhow,
like a seed into your passing hands,
just please
don’t destroy
these bolder lands.
Don’t follow
the lines.
Let’s try it another way.
