Death In April

Small body on the road
Coat still sheened with spring
It's eyes still black and soft and warm and clean

It's legendary quickness of feet
Too slow for the truck's wheels or teeth
Matter of minutes and hours all gone
Picked up for someone else's feast
And again, and again and again and again

Body on the road
Coat still sheened with Spring
It's eyes still black
And soft and warm and clean
It's legendary speed
Outrun by hungry truck wheels
The song was short as it was sweet
His song was short as it was sweet

Soft with spring
Warm and clean
Bright and mean
Short and sweet
Hungry teeth
Dull the sheen
Make the feast
Soft with spring
