Do you hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to cry
that means he's lost the will to live,
I'm so lonesome I could die.

for someone contemporary, Anna Nalick:
you can't jump the track
we're like cars on a cable
and life's like an hourglass
glued to the table
no one can find the rewind button, boys,
so cradle your head in your hands
and breathe, just breathe..
