sux in the city
morning came with a smokers cough
i put my cup in the sink
i had my favorite dream
where we have time to think
these early hours take their toll on me
so easy to lose my way
I should call you But i wouldn’t know what to say
not all the trees are green when you get to brooklyn
when you get to brooklyn sometimes the branch is bare
i slept last night in another room
I had to open the window wide
because i felt the spring
and i wanted some inside
i’ll savor the last of this cigarette
since its more of a lesser crime
almost perfect
and i’m going to be good next time
be careful your hands are clean
you get caught in the kitchen cookin
you get caught in the kitchen cookin you should
tie back your dirty hair
not all the trees are green
i touch the door as i turn the key
i give my coat to the chairs
i give the softest sigh
to anyone who cares
i could not find god in the underground
tho he has quite a cathedral there
so i walked home bless my soul
in the open air
and I don’t know what I mean when I say
I’m only looking
if I say that I’m only looking it could be anywhere
i could be anywhere

don’t wake me
Where
is this party?
is no one going as me?
I dont
care
‘cause I’ve started
to not believe what i see
it’s not
fair
how your heart
has sent my own out to sea
I bought a book about growing weeds
I caught a look ‘cause I got these needs
I thought I took out those sticks and seeds
can you please . . .
please
don’t wake me
as I’m walking out on a limb
up in the
trees
so don’t shake me
a fall from grace
could be grim
maybe a
breeze
is going to take me
but the chance is nothing but slim
I think I took too much and I need a phone
I’m so out of touch and I’m all alone
I’m still on my crutch can you take me home
can you
please

suite for midsummer
10:27

one for the money
two for the show
three for the lovers who let me go
four in the morning
five if you please . . .
these
are the breathless times barely a
breeze blows
through the bamboo chimes
sunday bells beckon down the hill
stony wells of water cold and still
when summer tells me I have time to kill
I obey there is no need to hurry
not today there is no need to worry
I'm so tired
of the same old ways and I get so
wired sometimes I couldn't sleep for days
shadows bending across the field
the letter is sent and so my fate is sealed
the day is spend and my heart has healed
hooray! there is no need to worry
not today there is no need to hurry
sometimes I could
cry
for this day in june its just so
dry as
the distant moon
saving grace it begins to rain
a foggy place on the windowpane
a happy face in the glass again
just to say there is no need to worry
not today there is no need to hurry
there is no need to worry
