The Three Note Tune

The sun is setting at the park 

The kids scramblin home before dark 

A shadow is seen from the rear 

Approaches a man shedding a tear 

He opens up his phone to see 

The messages that made him be

Depressed on a sunny June day 

His lover said she wouldn't stay. 

Murderous and sorrowful 

unexpressive, sad, and dull 

He waits, and waits, and waits all night 

While those he loves remain out of sight 

Not hearing one single sound 

The put-upon man takes to the ground 

and though he could look to sunrise 

Head in lap he sits and cries 

Now coming from a clump of tree 

emerges a hidden mystery 

Taking off its hood it did 

To reveal itself to be a kid 

The boy whistles a three note tune 

Seeing that twilight would be soon

he fades back to the bush there and then 

and disappears never seen again  

Too sad to be spooked the man there sat 

howled the three note tune like a wild cat 

glowing twilight was nearly neigh 

the haunting sight lit the blank sky 

So the man pulled out his dirty blade

by his own hands he had carefully made. 

and as he whistled those three notes once more through,

The dagger from his heart he slowly drew.

The sun is rising at the park 

children at home for it's too dark 

A shadow is seen from the rear 

A man shedding a tear we see disappear
