roger and me go way back
we met as children playing
each of us has been there
when the other was in a sling
roger told me today
that his wife would die tomorrow
i told him to calm down
and to drink a beer
i cant see her die this way
he said, filled with all this sorrow
i cant send her into the ground
lying there in fear
roger went to a fortune teller
an old black blind fella'
who claimed to see your fate
for a fixed 20 dollar rate
the old fella closed his eyes
and then that fella said
"someone very close to you,
tomorrow will be dead"
his wife did not die tomorrow
she didn't die the next day
she didn't die a week after that
or even in a decade
roger now knew the old man
wasn't talking about his wife
nor was she
in danger
the one that died tomorrow
was me
prophecized by a stranger
