Come Sadie, Come
Come Sadie, come Sadie, oh Sadie come see
See what the fates have bestowed upon me,
See how the winds have changed with the weather
Now singing, now bringing those absent together
Come Sadie, come Sadie, oh Sadie attend
To the feting, the mating of new friend with friend.
Fete them with fresh homemade cookies and milk
She’s glancing, eyes dancing, her hair soft as silk
Come Sadie, dear Sadie, oh Grandmother look,
She’s feeding, she’s reading my heart like a book!
Her electrical wink suggests far more than I know,
Like kerfing while surfing a wave’s deep undertow.
Oh, Sadie, my Sadie, sweet Grandmother dear,
This moment’s too short for enjoying I fear.
A new found expression’s just lit up her eyes,
As if she’d been caught, and must improvise.
Oh Sadie, sweet Sadie, it’s time that you go
You’ve been such a dear, that we want you to know,
We’re smiling, beguiling that we aren’t perplexed
But you simply can’t gaze o’er what happens next.
