This old Buick's like the needle on a compass pointed due west. I remember her smile like June sunflowers. The look of her body as she slipped out that dress.
Traffic crawls, cell phone calls, talk video screams at me. Through my tinted window I see a little girl, rust red minivan. She's got chocolate on her face, got little hands.
i remember sunday mornings walking on the beach. and that place we'd stop for breakfast with the old red vinyl seats. the hours of the tide chart. the way the sunlight danced upon your face.

Oh man the fights they had. He'd cover up his ears. He thought "good boys don't cry". He fought back all the tears. Mama'd use her makeup. For the bruises on her face.
Oh, he listens to the countdown, every Sunday morning. From a cold solitary prison cell. And the music from his radio is like freedom down a dirt toad.
Got to hold on easy as I let you go,. gonna tell you how much I love,. though you think you already know,. I remeber I thought you looked like an angel,.

Ride the river down to the mouth. This crazy life I can do without. Long as you're here with me. Catch a wave and ride the crest. Hang ten and hook it to the west.

I see a ghost out on the water. I swear it has my face. I bend and drink the lonely down, the lonely down. There's trouble on the river. And whispers in the trees.

Oh, ghosts keep whispering. Oh, the feather of a raven's wing turned white by the bird's cheeks. Ooh, this chill, when it gonna leave my bones?. Take the ache so I can go.
