      I WROTE THIS A LONG TIME AGO AS A
REACTION TO 911 AND THEN CHANGED IT
TO FIT MY SCREENPLAY The Reluctant Cowboy
in which Sylvestre T. Cribbage sings this weepy song
about the shooting of John Lennon (James McKay)
in this ALTERNATE HISTORY story where Lennon
survives the attack.

     Sylvester T. Cribbage has trouble seeing the difference between
reality and dreams and has occasional visions that disturb him very much.

He also wakes up hearing music that isn't there. Thus the lyrics.

CRIBBAGE (V.O)

When every leaf
Is gone from every tree
And there's a yellow sun
In an empty sky
There'll be a time for grief
And a tear in every eye
Don't you see
Sad times are coming?

These dreams and city lights
May grow brighter ere they fade
Then in a sudden wind
Simply blow away
There'll be a cold hard rain
On a sunny day
Don't you see
Sad times are coming?

In dreams I see
My own reality
Just to wake up to a sad old song
With the same old name
And the same old pain

Just yesterday I picked up my guitar
But I couldn’t sing a word
Of my own refrain
And the only thing I heard
Was someone calling me by name
Don't you see, sad times are coming?
