The Unnoticed Fall

I was doing sound at the funeral
She was so remarkably thin
Flinty stock - Granny shoes
Betsy Johnson, 1982

Open mike at the memorial
Eliot, Joyce and Pound crowd
No-one spoke - Not at all
Was that him in the back?
Was that him in the back?

Say I saw her, Say I saw her
Say I saw her, Say.....

No-one saw the old pass all
No-one saw you walk away appalled
No-one saw you turn away
No-one saw you turn away

The olive has a rich noble history
In the cultural evolution of man
No-one spoke - No-one stared
Was that her with him?
Was that her with him?

Say I saw her, Say I saw her
Say I saw her, Say.....

No-one saw the old pass all
No-one saw you walk away appalled
No-one saw you turn away
No-one saw the old pass all
No-one saw.....
No-one saw.....
