Tell me what's your number
what's your new address
you knew me so long ago
still i must confess
i ain't done much wandering
i'm still here today
so if you want to look me up
this is where i'll stay
In the church directory
you'll know where to find me
You look through the yearbooks
of our early stages
and you memorize the listings
in the yellow pages
i'll be like them photographs
from 1921
where everyone's out on the stairs
in the april sun
in the church directory...
Every year they take a picture
of the latest class
and display it in the basement
up behind the glass
and after my obituary
fades without a trace
i won't need no newspaper
because i got a place
in the church directory...
