Gutters

GUTTERS (D G D F# B E)

Tell them I’m sorry. For the torrential rain today. The end-of-the-world sky. Tell them I’m sorry. I didn’t know what to do. Gone like the sand banks. How did you know that? It sounded like gunshots to me. But it could have been anything.

 

Looked in the mirror. I didn’t know what to say. I have been gutted.

Left in the pouring rain. The beach has been swept away. Flooded like gutters.

 

My heart just shudders. How did you know my name? Fluttering under a powerful number. I have been gutted.

Flooded like gutters. My heart just shudders. I have been gutted.
