about

Recently widowed, he goes into a continuing care situation. Dry folk-soul commentary, driven by relentless horns and a familiar bass riff.

lyrics

Hello from my new place, I’m glad we shopped around
No more dirty dishes, or cat to kick around
Looks like on the outside, the mansion we could never buy

I remember thinking, I’m gonna like it here
Been such a long time, since someone called me dear
Watchin’ the ships roll in, watch em roll away again

Time is a thief
from the day you were gone it’s been hard to sleep
A day is a minute, there’s no second chance
I love ya, I miss ya, I’ll seeya soon

Lemme tell ya what happened, around here the other day
Crews changed all the signs out
Place now has a new name
Think they might move me to a room across the way

You know I got new friends, and a very friendly nurse
And the ambulance that comes, least it don’t look like a hearse
New sheets on that bed, I guess it could be worse

Time is a thief
from the day you were gone it’s been hard to sleep
A day is a minute, ’s no second chance
I love ya, I miss ya, I’ll seeya soon.

Mike wrote these songs in some of his favorite vintage styles of pop music, as he heard them on the radio and vinyl records in the 1960s. One song is a cover, "You Call It Joggin'", by the late John D. Loudermilk.
