She's gone away but still they stay together. People call me crazy, crazy. My thoughts progress, I think about forever. My mind tells me maybe, maybe.
Dirt roads and dryland farming might be the death of me. But I can't leave this world behind. My debts are not like prisons where there's hope of getting free.
We ate May down to the rind. Asked the moon for another helping. It's getting on past suppertime. Lights are low and it was evening. Pull your dress up to your knees.
I still remember that time when we were dancing. We were dancing to a song that I'd heard. Your face was simple and your hands were naked. I was singing without knowing the words.
Here I am standing at your window again. Waiting for you to say go away or come in. I'm your locked door's worst knocker. I'm your curtain's best friend.
At night we crossed the border following a Black robe. To the edge of the reservation-to Cataldo Mission. Where the saints and all the martyrs look down on dying converts.
You must be living on wildfires. You must be living on wildfires. That's why your eyes. Are smoke and ash. . You must be living on earthquakes. You must be living on earthquakes.
Wait for love [Repeat: x2]. I got someone on my mind. And she don't make me wait the way you do. But time. Oh she holds me all the time. And she don't make me wait the way you do.
Deep in the belly of a whale I found her. Down with the deep blue jail around her. Running her hands through the ribs of the dark. Florence and Calamity and Joan of Arc.
Wait for love [Repeat: x2]. I got someone on my mind. And she don't make me wait the way you do. But time. Oh she holds me all the time. And she don't make me wait the way you do.
I became a thin blue flame. Polished on a mountain range. And over hills and fields I flew. Wrapped up in a royal blue. I flew over Royal City last night.
If this was the cold war we could keep each other warm. I said on the first occasion that I met Marie. We were crawling through the hatch that was the missile silo door.
She's a great actress, and I um, think we met the first time in '73. And she was doin' a little play off-broadway,. Ah, Heart of a Dog. And there was something different about her,.
I know the dog days of the summer. Have you ten-to-one out-numbered. Seems like everybody up and left and they're not coming back. The shadow that you're standing on's still here sometimes that's all that you can ask.
Birds beneath my window dusting their wings upon the lawn. I hear them in the morning light giving last amen to a migratory song. They're never looking round for me their eyes are on the sky or the ground below.
After all the lights had died. Out behind the palisades park. Fireflies remembered to do. Exactly what they were supposed to. . And memories were like coins that tumbled.
West of her there's a place know. Never have been but I'd like to go. Somewhere out there I believe in me. And West of her is where I'd like to see. West of her there's another place.
Serenade me with rocks, love. No lullabies through the locks love. I locked myself in with the band. But the music's never loud enough. . Decibels in the belfry.
All of a sudden now you're back again. I thought you were happy with whoever or did you dream about me now and then. Did you look up at the stars and feel something for the constellations.
You're a real mean mama but you got a lot of time for me. And I know it ain't common to find your kinda love for free. It's a drag and a sigh and that's not all.
