Jun 2014
The sky is long
And the wind blows hard
Been living twenty six years
But still feel
Like I ain't even here

Blood in the trees
Buzzing of the bees
Whispering windows
Just birds take flight
Child holds a red balloon
Wishing it was a kite

Oh' lonesome love
Infinite sky above
Restless meaning
Ants around me teeming
She lay next to me
Purring and dreaming

Turn the record over
Listen to another side
Car is busted
People can't be trusted
Bike is lost
This heart of mine is rusted

I wake in the morning
And I sleep at night
This wedding ring of mine
Is starting to feel a little tight
Ice cream smile with a
Blueberry triumphant smile
I can't help it
If this is the way it is

Give me a dollar
And I'll double
Your take
No one seems to understand
There's nothing
At stake
Let me alone
Read my mind
Count the clock
Tell the time

Through the drapes
Pass the trees
And the sky
I caught her eyes
In a lie
When you know
You know
So I turned myself around

And I ride
For a mountain side
Desolate and awash in solitude
A caught cradle
Babies breath and sand
She always told me
I had the hardest hands

Rejection
Is motivations best and
Worst
Friend
A stinging nettle collides with a
Hissing kettle
And I'm stripped and searched
In the local airport
Cursing my desire to move
To prove
Is was never meant to love,
But to run

No fault of mine.
Genetics of germination
Permeate all around me
I've lost my way
My footing
My grip
Another misstep
And I'll be to weak
To catch myself

Broken mirrors
Show a thousand faces
Miles of caves
A million voices
Sky of diamonds
Bird made of leather
I'm too proud
To live forever

Why can't it just be true?
That thing you wanna' do.
Tell yourself you can
And you will, one day.
But don't be surprised
If what you get is not what
You expected
We all have to pay a price
For a slice of this fleeting life

I feel myself changing
Yes, everything's rearranging
I'm lost on an ocean front
My hearts on another stunt
And since we've been apart
I'm finding it hard
To come up
With a better start

When you got no road to drive on
And the snow gets too high to go through
When you've run outta' fuel
And the world's only been cruel
Make your way down to where I live
Near the apple trees and the forest groves
We can talk about your worries
We can speak about your woes
Make your way down to where I live
And we'll give it another try
We'll give it another give
