Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more,

[Ptah]

She sits and stares through the back door screen.
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,
We worked together at the factory.
But what could I say if asks "What's new?"
"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."

1. When this came out, I thought it was the saddest song...

.
...I had ever heard -- a MASTERPIECE of heartbreak and heartache --
I dont see manipulation or cheap tugs at the heart. All the the years
and all my since-gained perspectives haven't changed my opinion one bit.
.
"And we lost Davey in the Korean War...
Now I still don't know what for.
It don't matter anymore."
.
I cry every damn time.
.
He deserves MUCH more exposure.
.
We deserve much more of him.
.
.
.
Does he remind anyone else at all of Lucy Kaplansky (especially his
cbord work)?
.
Thank you for posting this.
.
.
And it DOES inspire me to say "Hello, in there... hello."
