It's 3 am when you wake me
with cold hands in the shape of chords,
breathing stories and whiskey
spilled on the p.a by a guy
asking for songs.
In between saturday and sunday
you tell me about the bikes
in town for the rally,
lining the streets in rows of inert thunder
while their people drank
and moved to the music you made.
It's 4 am
before morning finds the bluff
to light up the world's earliest hours
good morning you say
before we fall asleep,
laughing at your own joke.

In between saturday and sunday

lining the streets in rows of inert thunder
while their people drank
and moved to the music you made.
It's 4 am
before morning finds the bluff
to light up the world's earliest hours
good morning you say
before we fall asleep,
laughing at your own joke.
