He got homesick by the hour
impelling him to close the eyes
where the walls look cold and lifeless
reaching for methadone and skies
no dead man is less than noble
so the pictures ought to claim
he got stuck inside the delta
for another graceless day
so frail, so frail
he was driving in his fast car
down the backroads to the dock
his affliction kills the memory
arrived to waiting out the clock
so frail, so frail, so frail, so frail
so frail, so frail, so frail, so frail
