Dirty wings, we shall have.

Dirty wings, we shall have. For dear Susie.
1- I told dear Susie, a nickel for dance, a dime for a kiss,
a quarter for a day with you near the flowing river.
Pretty Susie gave me her Ohio beautiful smile.
She told me. I would give you everything you need because
dear Johnnie. You are the only one who adore me.
2- Dear Susie, I found war and ugliness.
When I wanted death, I remember you.
I remember how you held my hands, and how we danced for the September moon.
Dear Susie told me. I am dirty with sin, and I am ugly with sadness.
My angel wings are torn and beaten. I am dark with anger.
You don’t want a broken woman.
I brought her close and I whispered to her.
A nickel for a dance, a dime for a kiss and
a quarter for day with you near the sea.
Dear Susie, you are more beautiful than yesterday.
New scars and old scars, we shall have.
I see my Ohio dream, my first and last wish.
I would make you smile, and we would re-write our story.
Where two people overcame and they found the kindness of love.
Coyote
