Ticket Stub

Maybe I slipped from your pocket
during the mad dash to your seat-
or maybe the excitement of hearing him live
surpassed your ability to remember me
once you were inside the stadium...
either way, you're gonna miss me
when I'm gone. You're gonna wish this
wasn't our last goodbye.
You're gonna want me for scrapbook
memories, and I'll wait for you love-
down here on the cold concrete
of this busy concert hall.
You'll drink more than you ought to drink
while hypnotized by strange delight,
while I sit here, my tattered edge
a torn memory of when I was with you,
in your loving hand on the way
to see the Jeff Buckley band.
