On Mulberry Drive
walking in the Spring rain.
Except for signs of a driveway
nothing else remains.
They took it all away
the house and the hill.
That spot we shared in '78
all the love and thrills.

Oblivion is coming
it's written in the stone.
It really starts out
on the day that you're born.
Live every second
dance what you've captured.
Shadowville Mythos...

On Mulberry Drive
on another mystery play.
Almost fifty years ago
still seems like yesterday.
That long driveway
now goes into space.
We thought we'd live forever
not dead and disgraced.
>
Darkness is falling
archived in a book.
It really gets smaller
the closer you look.
Breathe deeply my darling
smoke them if you have to.

On Mulberry Drive
now the hail's coming down.
Taps on the umbrella
as I'm walking around.
I remember that fireplace
I remember her smile.
I remember Edgewood Park
where we'd laugh for a while.
>
In the living room
I heard a ghost moan.
As I talked with the Cavalier
on a land line telephone.
Relive every second
these memories you've captured.
Shadowville Mythos...
is on the last chapter.

I liked the song. The music enhances the lyrics. Mallard's guitar is
always catchy, and you held up your vocal end well.

The ending was cool; reminded me of "Cinnamon Girl".

Thanks again, although I'm puzzled as to why your post didn't show up on
JLA

Forums.

CC: Mummy Chunk, can you as the administrator what happened?

Hi Will. I'd suggest sending a message directly to the JLA admin, but I
can
say based off of some of the discussions that I had earlier on the other
issues that were mentioned it could be another cross post scenario.

do you know if the post was cross posted to other groups - maybe check
those
and see if it appears there instead.

 The admin team there are really good about responding to any problems
that
are reported, but they won't know about them unless somebody says
something

Good morning again Mummy Chunk.

Yes, I'm pretty happy with the way JLA Forums is working, it is mainly a
matter of learning the tricks, so to speak.

I do want to suggest another great old Usenet newsgroup to the
administrator:

There's others but this one was a favorite many years ago.

If you send a pm to admin, they will add it.
