There is no dress rehearsal
Just a script that I've never read
A sad story that is universal
A vague idea of what
to expect
Is it curtains already
I haven't learned my lines
Is it curtains already
I just thought that we'd have more time
A missed call with a message attached
"We need to talk when you have a chance"
I stood frozen in that Gainesville venue
Not knowing how to react
Is it curtains already?
I haven't learned my lines
Is it curtains already?
I'll improvise
Not surprising I put off the call
Socialized and put up
a wall
Anything to prolong
the chances
Before confirming she was really gone
I crossed SW 2nd Street
Made the call and stared at my feet
"She passed away about
an hour ago
While you were onstage living the dream"
