Corrina Corrina

Corrina Corrina, where you been so long?
Corrina Corrina, would you please, please come home?

Cleaved with the madness
The letter opener falls
Words spill across the tile
Up along the kitchen wall
Girl, your cursive knots my veins
I smell fire over yonder and I smell the pouring rain

Please, Corrina Corrina, where you been so long?
Corrina Corrina, would you please, please come home?

Here you have signed it
With love, so you say
While the screen door's still swinging
Still swinging away
First snow of winter
Black birds land
Hungrily pulling the delicate lines you penned with your hand

Please, Corrina Corrina, where you been so long?
Corrina Corrina, would you please, please come home?

Such delicate lines
Such delicate lines you penned with your hand

Corrina Corrina, where you been so long?
Corrina Corrina, would you please, please come home?

Corrina Corrina, where you been so long?
Corrina Corrina, would you please, please come home?

Please come home
Please come home
Please come home
Please come home
