William
'A miracle, indeed,' said everyone but me…
The first time I met him he had just shaved
And had red bumps all down his neck
He said 'Hello,' and then his name
I shis hand and I did the same
I was very well pleased
He said 'ma'am' after his yes and no's
(which was very rare those days)
But I could appreciate something like that
For it was the way I was raised
- William -
'A miracle, indeed,' said everyone but me…
I don't go looking through my daughter's things
I never wanted to be one of those
There's nothing more than trust a mother can gain
Plus, she can't keep quiet about anything
That goes on in her world
So when she said 'Aw, it's nothing, Ma…'
I didn't think I was hearing a line
But like these things always do
What's true comes out in time
- William -
And he's so good with children
They sit upon his knee
And pretend they're riding horses
When they're sitting on his knee
'A miracle, indeed,' said everyone but me…
Most times the good deeds go unseen
Sometimes everybody's got a camera
Maybe it was timing, maybe it was luck…
Maybe it was grace combined with that human stuff
There's nothing such as accidents I know…
But they stood and cheered when he walked in the room
It seemed that everybody was his friend
Before he could blush and say 'This is really too much…'

He closed his eyes and he counted to ten

'A miracle, indeed,' said everyone but me…
I was listening to Coltrane's A Love Supreme
When the telephone rang in the other room
It rang and it rang and it would not stop
By the time I finally answered, they hung up
I sat down in the chair to catch my breath
But I stood up soon when I saw lit by the moon
Two men speaking by the front door
When they saw me they stopped and quickly drove off
In a car I'm sure I've seen before
Will you, won't you…
Do you,
Don't you feel?
Willy Nilly - here's the house key, Will.

And he's so good with children
They sit upon his knee
And pretend they're riding horses
When they're sitting on his knee
'A miracle, indeed,' said everyone but me…
Most nights I hit the lights and fall straight to sleep
Lately I can't turn my mind off
I toss and I turn until I fall out of bed
'Did I hear what I heard? – Was what was said really said?'
Maybe I'm just getting old
And every time I bring it up to her she just laughs
And says, 'Really, Ma, it's fine…'
But like these things always do
What's true comes out in time
