Roadside memorial, four unlit candles
bouquet of bruised roses and a soggy stuffed animal
Day of the service, the forecast was rain
We brought our umbrellas, but the tears never came
Once in a while, the Sun burns,
Once in a while, the Earth turns
There's ghosts in the city, the white plastic bags
The one-legged pigeon in the park by the flag
The man on the corner is shaking his can
But she turns towards the window with the porcelain mannequin
Once in a while, the Sun burns,
Once in a while, the Earth turns...
He stands on a bridge, and looks down at the river
His rippled reflection looks back towards the sky
The sun on the water, both lovely and blinding
He squints as he watches himself flowing by
Once in a while, the Sun burns,
Once in a while, the Earth turns...
