Below are the lyrics to a tune on his Parade LP, "Sometimes it Snows in April". It's a tune I've used for purging myself of emotional poison. It's helped in the past, amidst the hurt and confusion of living between heaven and hell in the O.
Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war,
Just after I’d wiped away his last tear
I guess he’s better off than he was before,
A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
I used 2 cry 4 tracy because he was my only friend
Those kind of cars don’t pass u every day
I used 2 cry 4 tracy because I wanted to see him again,
But sometimes sometimes life ain’t always the way...
Sometimes it snows in april
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish life was never ending,
And all good things, they say, never last
Springtime was always my favorite time of year,
A time 4 lovers holding hands in the rain
Now springtime only reminds me of tracy’s tears
Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain
He used 2 say so strong unafraid to die
Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized
No, staring at his picture I realized
No one could cry the way my tracy cried
Sometimes it snows in april
Sometimes I feel so bad
Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
And all good things, they say, never last
I often dream of heaven and I know that tracy’s there
I know that he has found another friend
Maybe he’s found the answer 2 all the april snow
Maybe one day I’ll see my tracy again
Sometimes it snows in april
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
But all good things, they say, never last
All good things that say, never last
And love, it isn’t love until it’s past
