Day 17 - June

Today's prompt is complicated.  You will have to look it up.

June
(Jaquith, 2012)

A message to my reflections,

I hope you are listening this time

I don't want to repeat this sad little line

I know it don't matter and I can't make it right

She won’t be coming home tonight

No, she ain’t coming home tonight

I hope you are listening … I'm trying to be nice

You know I don’t want to say this twice

You had it good boy and you let it go

She ain’t coming home tonight boy

No, she ain’t coming home tonight

Apples and oranges make a bitter mix

This is something that you just can’t fix

You had it good boy and you let it go

She ain’t coming home tonight boy

No, she ain’t coming home tonight

Johnny loved June

Their music crossed a silent room

“Sooner or later, God’s gonna cut you down

Sooner or later, God’s gonna cut you down.”

No, she ain’t coming home tonight

Cardinal Leger crossed a mighty road

Into a new country they were sold

Across the sea and far away

She ain’t coming home tonight boy

No, she ain’t coming home tonight.
