    Good morning, MummyChunk, here's the poem on Penny's Poetry Blog:

    On Mulberry Drive, by Will Dockery

    On Mulberry Drive
    walking in the Spring rain.
    Except for signs of a driveway
    nothing else remains.
    [...]

    (performed by Will Dockery & Brian Mallard)

    Posting a link to the Dunce Blaaaargh is *not* posting the lyrics

    Unless you're contractually obligated to Dance (who is known for attempting to steal the rights to any poems posted on his Blaaaaargh), you should post the lyric in its entirety *here.*

    I intend to post the poem here, I just don't have a copy handy at present. >>
    How can you not have a copy handy? You've posted it to AAPC 100s of times.

    Perhaps Dance can show you how to do an archive search.

    What's the rush?

    Just a matter of courtesy to MummyChunk, and any other readers who are interested

    True, apologies to MummyChunk, I'll get the lyrics posted here soon.

    HTH and HAND.

    They took it all away
    the house and the hill.
    That spot we shared in '78
    all the love and thrills.

    Oblivion is coming
    it's written in the stone.
    It really starts out
    on the day that you're born.
    Live every second
    dance what you've captured.
    Shadowville Mythos...
    is on the last chapter.

    On Mulberry Drive
    on another mystery play.
    Almost fifty years ago
    still seems like yesterday.
    That long driveway
    now goes into space.
    We thought we'd live forever
    not dead and disgraced.

    Darkness is falling
    archived in a book.
    It really gets smaller
    the closer you look.
    Breathe deeply my darling
    smoke them if you have to.
    Shadowville Mythos...
    is on the last chapter.

    On Mulberry Drive
    now the hail's coming down.
    Taps on the umbrella
    as I'm walking around.
    I remember that fireplace
    I remember her smile.
    I remember Edgewood Park
    where we'd laugh for a while.

    In the living room
    I heard a ghost moan.
    As I talked with the Cavalier
    on a land line telephone.
    Relive every second
    these memories you've captured.
    Shadowville Mythos...
    is on the last chapter.

    I liked the song. The music enhances the lyrics. Mallard's guitar is
    always catchy, and you held up your vocal end well.

    The ending was cool; reminded me of "Cinnamon Girl".

    Good morning again MummyChunk, yes, it's the story about my memories of things past, the year 1977 in specific.

    I posted the poem here for you last night, in this thread.
