SONG FOR LINDA DYER / gregory antoniono © 2023 libbyworld songs

VERSE 1
"I come from a long line of drunkards and cheats"
	was the first line of a poem by Linda Dyer
	She lived just off Mission Street
	Behind an Irish bar called the Harp & Lyre
	
CHORUS
She knew music better than me
	She wrote piercing poetry
	About her fractured family
	that made my own seem mild
	
VERSE 2
We walked to the Contemporary
	Past a homeless kid who held a gold sun dial
	They had a piece that she wanted to see
	Concentric poodle rings 'round a newborn child
	
CHORUS
She knew pop art better than me
	An intellect of first degree
	Who dressed like the girl from Addams Family
	Long before it was in style
	
VERSE 3
Late one night I was searching for her
	and the news I found burned through me like a fire
	Gone too soon, what would she say
	"Well, I finally lived up to my last name 'Dyer'"
