Through the ins and outs of yesterdays
Where rain fell and one couldn't get to say
How they knew where they should be
If they walked and in the end couldn't see

No land is not for the given man
And plan is ever set in the sand
I've been alone to many times this year
And the fear is here most times too clear

Each hour she wakes she works for crooks
Who take her money her soul and her worth
And I watch with eye as I cry and pry
For a reason for teasin' this promise we tied

Now alone I sit with bits of pearl
Telling myself its the theft of the world
And I see her as she sees me
Every night in dark I write the next cree

So, so long to thought and promise and sons
Were all soft dough and soon to be buns
The belt is brown with holes engraved
Were taught to live as well as behave

Each voice I knew embodied its own rhythm
Lived on this earth as if it were the cataclycsm
Fought for their voice by horse not a choice
Streets filled with bills of unmatchable skill

So sleep she does in harmonies eye
Our voices reach a pitch every time we fight
Light hits the post as she boasts her work
My dinner is cold as rust builds on the fork

Now in these hours that wake with the dawn
She careens and cries just like a new born fawn
I wake and rise for the tide of the snake
Each quake she speaks steps me back as she takes

Under this sky my lie is shown bright
Caught in the sight like the sky with its kite
Pebbles do whisper with the cold of the season
Night meetings alone loves gluttonous feasting

As the fast wave breaks in foam on the roam
My pack is empty as my feet peddle the stone
Her eyes here inside me tear me limb to limb
Shaken and started each hour begins again

She tells be of the bell as I purr feeling felt
Every time in the dime she peddles as she knelt
Oh, babe my eyes are weary as my soul is too
What are we babe when love ends, what are we to do?

I have no answer hear but queer is my steer
Direction has no name only temporary revere
Where names are the same and time is not involved
Licking the lips of a life never resolved

So put off from the start of the way it always was
Whispering to a wall that crawls with a pause
Hills wave with the tide as my eyes push away
I wish that I could see her but me, no, I can't stay

Nor my mind is either broken or the body is gone too
Each hour that ticks away is a time I think of you
Houses blink on and off with their lights as if to say
Go back to her, its alright, trust that its all ok

The laborers breath with the soot and their sighs
As the bank tellers weep looking for a ride
Night falls on the eyes of the villagers
The moon cries out, "I'm bound to get sillier!"

And through the open fields laced in brown and gold
Little children run not doing what they are told
Defiance in reliance for the good of the way
There is no toll here, there is no reason to pay

Now as the sun starts to rise with shallow pride
I take my rucksack to the door book on the side
Little laughs of paths make way for new direction
I watch the TV with the same news, dual for election

And were all lost in the life of circus mirrors
Reflecting the new trying to make us believers
With the mist that carries through the open range
And the fact in the matter then few ever change
