“Lullaby for the Unloved” is a somewhat, shall we say, “untraditional” lullaby — a lullaby that wraps what starts as a daydream of a road trip and then proceeds to traipse darkly through subsequent reminiscences

lyrics

Oh my dear, your are so tired
And in need of rest
Oh my dear, it's time to sail on back
Sail back to where they love you best

Whenever I run into Etsu,
I feel like Persona Non Grata
Maybe it’s time I took
Another trip down through Baja
Buy myself a hand made guitar as
I pass through Ensenada
Drive through all that desert,
Surrounded by a whole lot of nada

I still have that Tupperware container
Filled with Mari’s menagerie of sands
That she had collected
From all the beaches where we stopped and camped
Oh but these days I only burn
I never tan
So maybe it’s not really
The best of plans

Such a simple girl — she’s the only one
That ever really got this poor duffer
When I broke it off with her,
She knew how much I’d suffer
I miss her company
I miss her as a lover
I keep trying to find her again
In one form or another

Oh my dear, you are so tired
And you are in distress
Of my dear, it’s time to fly on back
Fly back to where they love you best
