I Must've Been Leaving
02:56
|

This old driving line has lead me off the rails. I could sleep on it, but shut eye often fails. Yes, I should have seen the sign, but I must’ve been leaving.
What you said back there, put wheels on the road. I could face it down but cracks would surely show. Oh I could have seen it plain, but I was leaving
Would you save my place and keep that bedside warm
While I while away and whittle at the scorn
Oh, I should have seen the sign, but I must’ve been leaving
That old bar back there has fell into despair
Same sad characters
Dull smoke in the air
Oh, I could have
joined that club but I was leaving
When you told me straight
It shook me to my toes
Could have called you out
Yet mirrors all around
Yeah, I could have kissed the ground
But I was leaving
Would you save my place and keep that bedside warm
While I while away and whittle at the scorn
I could have circled back around
But I was leaving
Nowhere for the night to go
Unwelcome memory unfolds
Meet me halfway up the road
Coffee, smoke and stories told
Heavy load
I could play and sing a tune into the void
blackness in middle distance
Nods and sings along
Oh, I could have stared it down but I was leaving.
This old driving line has lead me off the rails. I could sleep on it, but shut eye often fails. Yes, I should have seen the sign, but I must’ve been leaving.
Yeah, I could have stood my ground
But I must’ve been leaving

There where the road it meets the distance
On the bare earth is marked a spot
That house still stands there with you in it. You said as soon as you get here you best be gone
Back in the weeds there begs a question
Who’s door you dare to knock upon
I bring the message and the flowers so sweet
Said, as soon as you get here, you best be gone
——
There in the house there is a balcony
Fine City lights to look upon
Beyond that city lies a desert so dry
Says as soon as you get there, you best be gone
Down the road there stands a ramble
Two step/side step goin on
Over the din and the clatter so thick
She says as soon as you get here, you best be gone
——
Your daddy told you not to bother
With a man who slings a guitar on
He’ll bring his pretty tunes and his smile
so sweet, But as soon as he gets here, he’ll be gone
Your momma groomed you for the alter
Said you best know the road you’re on
Dare a blind turn, don’t even holler
For me
As soon as you get there, you’ll be gone
—-
Behind the walls you built tall with him
Presides the chambermaid you pay
She says although that door is open wide. As soon as you step through it you’ll be gone.
Out where the highway meets the distance
Beyond the mountains there’s only sea
But upon that sea there sails a tall tall ship. And as soon as you step on it you’ll be gone
—-
And now the ramble, it’s in shambles
Burned earth and bottles all around
Still in the dead of night you hear them guitars calling to you
But soon as you get there, they’ll be gone
As soon as you get there They’ll be gone
As soon as you get there They’ll be gone
Get gone now

These Walls

These walls
Hold my fears and hopes
That door
May it forever be closed
Outside, the day
Spite in my face
As I scurry to hide
These walls,
Oh how I love them so
Windows
Blackened forever closed
Outside the night
A siren, a call
Under covers - I go
Solo
Inside the light
So easy to dim and
Keep there at bay
These walls
No stories to tell
That door
Creeks open in the chill
Outside the night
Welcoming cold
Shadow reprieve
So many hours unfold
Only inward to go
Sleep comes in it’s waves
Moon glow replays
I’m in here to stay
These walls
Shall they never fall
That phone
Never dials or calls
Outside, the day
Spite in my face
As I scurry away

The Door
04:02
|

Open the door
And open the door
And in as they come
In as they come
I’m as they come
Into you
As they will
You are they
In the come with their sour faces, blackened gums, swollen eyes, hands clawed, clutching their “research” and their citations, and their untrusting trust in what must, in what must, in what must, trust in what must, in what must

Light Of Way
02:54

Today - drift through the canyons
Over the hills away
Today - nothing can stop me
Having had made my way
Steep are the canyons
High are the hillsides
Should you be on your way
Tonight - a light in the window
Barely seen by day
Out here, wolves they do gather
Wolves they do gather near
Close they do gather
Circling tighter
Obscuring the light of way
Although cold is the falling eve
Close is the light they say
The wolves - circling closer
Glowing eyes every way
Though they come closer
Cold we are too the touch
Distance - they will keep
Dim is the light - it fades
Shadow extend the way
Take my hand let’s drift astray
As the - day - fades
Today - drift through the canyons
Over the hills away
Today - nothing can stop me
Having had made my way
Steep are the canyons
High are the hillsides
Should you be on your way
Helpless we drift astray
Obscuring the light of way

Gravity

In the deep forest there’s a tree
Swaying branches none can see
Spans the air between two pines
Never living
Never dying
In the stream
Awash a key
At the bottom
Moss green
Swim the stream
Fish the key
Flaming spires
You will see
Pine air
Turn the key
No lock clicks
Nothing to see
Feel the hands
They pull you near
Door closes
Light nowhere near
Evening of light
On the other side
Burned branches
Spanning wide
Trails of smoke
Skidding collide
Planets merge
Gravity decides

Subterfuge

Would you kill your bother if you had a had another
Would you put him under
Would you put him under if you’re pulling no trigger or grabbing a dagger
Kill him with the stupid
Kill him with the the screen
Kill him as you will him, will
Bend him into being
All the songs go on
Ah the glare flares on
Would you kill your bother if you had a had another
Would you put him under
Would you put him under if you’re pulling no trigger or grabbing a dagger
Kill him with the stupid
Kill him with the the screen
Kill him as you will him, will
Bend him into being
The stupid flickers on
Drowns on
Drowns on
Flares glare on
And on
