MELTING RIVER
white as the day you’re born
gray as the northern sky
sad how one’s life is torn
black as the day you’ll die
summer sidewalk glisten
with your bits of broken glass
winter footsteps muffled in the snow
in the autumn it would rain
on my golden fields of grain
will I not see you again
once again once again
then let my melting river flow
melting river hurry
until my lake of life refills
begin on top a mountain
and then roll down through the hills
if you love me listen to me
if you love me you will hear
never leave me take me with you ‘cause
I cannot live a day without you near
without you near

PICKET FENCES
the warm glow of sunlight
on the pure green leaves of spring
I bought enough gas to drive past the border
the countless days of dancing
sunlight overhead
well they’re dancing
to the songs of falling stones
and crumbling mortar
thats what I did
when I was on my way to sarah's
I hopped a train out of a chaos of my mind
I climbed a tree
high enough to see the whole wide world
because I was unhappy
with what Ive seen down here unfurled
well the dandilion season
kicks off tomorrow
and the warm spring nights
call the end into review
can you see the streetlights
dancing over green leaves
all I know is Emily Teller
sings so beautiful and true
there perfectly
then blowing back again
out of the pain and misery
of summer days inside
the crazy spring winds
blowing into summer storms
blowing leaves
through the white picket fences
of my mind

FAIRFIELD
I took the photo from the fridge
it was the one where you look so pretty
then I took the parkway to the bridge
because from there I could see the city
and of the things I cannot do
the hardest of all is leaving you
but you leaving me
well that wouldn’t fly away
O-oh
Only the ghost of frost was out there in the field
and even in the shadows melting.
and all the things I should have said,
get stuck in circles inside my head
and every time I try to turn away
and heave a sigh
O-oh
Forget the fancy restaurant
there’s not a dime in the hand I’m spending
Might even end up with what we want
still some time for a happy ending
But I might be wrong about that you know
I’d be the first to admit that I should let it go
But either way I should say That I know
neither how or why
Instead of flying in style tonight
because I never took the time to arrange a flight
I’m in the rain on the road not the right
way to say goodbye
It’s in the frame by the window
It’s by the clock on the wall
and if I ever even time take the time to notice it
It isn’t there at all

TRY TO REMEMBER with liberties
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
that dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember when life was so tender that
love was and ember about to billow
Try to remember, and
if you remember then follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember the
fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December our hearts should remember,
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and, oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September when
you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, andif you remember
Then follow

apples of eden
02:00

|
Sometimes I try to forget
what isn’t worth remembering
and still I fuss and I fret
and fumble through the day
if we go in by the birch
and you cross the small stream with me
we can cancel the search
and we can settle down to stay
maybe it seems like I’m lost in the woods
staring up through the trees
where on every branch is a story
that begs to be told
If I was a kid again making up songs
about all that he sees
I would sing about apples of eden
made out of gold
so honey give me your hand
or any limb that’s lovable
we’re going back to the land
before we’re sorry what we say
and we’ll go in by the birch
we’ll get lost in the evergreen
then they can call off the search
and we can settle down to stay

we’re on the line
it’s like there’s never any time
should I began to make a list of
everything I might have missed
so I could make it mine?
So long ago
you were this girl I’d love to know
there was a lesson that we learned
but they took that book and burned it well
I guess we gotta go somewhere
slow down love
I may have spoke too soon
I have my horse behind the cart
still have to see our children off to see the world
we have to show them where to start
and when they find that corner
only they can claim
and they frame their window with a view
we’ll take a look back in
and we’ll begin again
and I will fall in love with you
and when I do
when I fall back in love with you
it will be better than before
with everything we have in store
it will be something new
