Darryl Purpose

Late For Dinner

by Darryl Purpose
Darryl Purpose

Biography:

Darryl Purpose was a late arrival to the folk explosion of the 1990s. By the time he became a full-time folk singer in 1996, the competition among acoustic troubadours scrambling to find a place in the wake left by monster success stories like Tracy Chapman, Shawn Colvin, and the Indigo Girls was intense and daunting. But folk music is, after all, a storytelling genre. And when Purpose did finally hit the folk scene, he came with an unusually eclectic resume that provided him with a wealth of compelling stories to tell.

Darryl Purpose - Late For Dinner


CAPO: 3rd Fret




[Verse 1]
Am G
Sheppard served in Pharaoh's Army Nineteen sixty-eight
F G Am
Came home with his body parts intact
G
Spent a year inside his room smoking cigarettes
F G Am
Never talked about it after that


[Verse 2]
G
Shep and I got married on the day Nixon resigned
F G Am
Honeymooned down Mexicali way
G
Sometimes when he held me tight he'd look like he was blind
F G Am
Or staring at a graveyard far away


[Chorus]
C G
And if he blew in through that doorway today
Dm A G
Like a long-forgotten echo of winter
C G
I don't know if I'd shoot him in the face
F G Am
Or tell him that he's late for dinner


[Verse 3]
G
For thirteen years my love grew for this solitary man
F G Am
Who reacted strong when anyone would cross me
G
With hard looks, fisticuffs, if it came to that
F G Am
He did the little things that said he loved me


[Verse 4]
G
And in the morning he would cook for me and drop me off to work
F G Am
Kiss me on the cheek to start my day
G
There was no warning the last time, he would not come no more
F G Am
There was no time to memorize his face


[Chorus]
C G
And if he blew in through that doorway today
Dm A G
Like a long-forgotten echo of winter
C G
I don't know if I'd shoot him in the face
F G Am
Or tell him that he's late for dinner


[Verse 5]
Am G
Now I almost went to look for him, but couldn't find the nerve
F G Am
Something there did not sit right with me
G
I realize this battle is not what I deserved
F G Am
Chasing Israelites through parted seas


[Chorus]
C G
And if he blew in through that doorway today
Dm A G
Like a long-forgotten echo of winter
C G
I don't know if I'd shoot him in the face
F G Am
Or tell him that he's late for dinner
