The Things I Would Say

Long day I walk now
Don't know where I've stepped
Except that I know how everything went
Say, sometimes...I don't know when
Long day it's been
Don't know what I've had
Darling, don't you know I'm sad with the way it was?
At the time it could wait
At the time it could
The things that I would say.

I could see my eye was red and burned
as the sun draped down the hill
And everything held a golden way of being
I could see a coyote on the hill
looking out beneath an oak
And I could weep at the pain that they have known
A long time
I have known
I need you
Every way that I lean
I find something I believe
and hold tight
Standing in the coolness of a creek
watching egrets watching me
Then tracing off down the bank where you had gone
I could feel a burning in my heart
thinking of the ones before
and what it was
when it feels like evermore
A long time
I have known
I need you
Every way that I lean
I find something I believe
and hold tight

Don't You See?

Don't you see?
You think you oughta be asking me
Please
You're hardly giving the things we need
at all
It's just talk
People hardly walk
So share a thought, and pick it up -- move it on
Believe
Bitterly in search of something to set me free
I wrote to you
telling how best that I can do
It might not seem much
polite but pretty rough
off hand
off the cuff
but maybe with some luck
you'll believe
Say what you can
Hold out our hands
May not be much
unless there is love
Solemnly
the way that I am resigned to see
all I can
limited as a thing can be
above the view
looking half way through
the sight
the talk
the ways that we move
Believe

I Saw You
03:40
|

I caught your brake lights on the Warrenella
I saw your hand shoot to the side
I didn't know him
It didn't matter
for what we saw there in the woods
The eyes stood
locked
to decide
Ears flattened
to listen
to decide
You sure had spirit
I felt your presence
You drove right through it to the core
I heard the wind move through the trees
and just like that
You were gone
Now I picture you out there
alone
Belly down, moving wisdom
that you know
I can worry about you, you know?
I can think of what my friends have told.

Beyond the Pass
05:12
|

|
I stood between the cars looking for you
I felt my breath leave my body for the snow
I thought you had gone off -- finally
I resigned myself right there to my thoughts.
I can't be lost beyond the pass
where snow will fall
and nothing lasts.
The heat would hum and burn us up in the night
I would claw my way back up towards the sun
I would never feel like I was headed home
with sweet grass and soft spots and all that.
I can't be lost beyond the pass
where snow will fall
and nothing lasts.
It burns enough without a match
The days are long
you'll see to that.

Magnolia

The day I met you changed everything
You laid your head down on my feet
Back in the early days
out in the dust
Out back there under magnolia
By where the powerlines cracked overhead
side of the freeway and the summer stench
With my arms around you every night.
For many years now
I've loved you
I've been so enthralled by what you do
I held you so closely every night
yet when I awake you're out of sight.
My heart wonders every time
I feel your breath upon my hand.
Believe me when I say I will watch you
any way I can
Anything I can do for you -- you know I will
By where the powerlines sang overhead
You make my heart stop and start again.

Coyote Valley

I would
if I could see through your eyes
Taking in the scents on the rise
Standing there on the hill
looking out across the land
Seeing as far as you can
A row of trees traces on a line
the grade is mostly keeping you concealed
Set your nose to the ground, looking for a track
to see if you can find your way home
It's hard to see outside your being
the way you want, the things that you need
to go
You feel the sound racing off a truck
at sunrise, a cold rain coming down
Could find your way along a fence
seeking out an old creekbed
green hills beyond calling you
It's hard to see outside your being
the way you want, the things that you need
to move
It's hard to see outside your being
the way you want, the things that you need
It's hard to see outside your being
the things that I know
the things that we owe
to you

I saw moonlight shine in your eyes still
I saw the white of the sides looking up
and your teeth -- an ivory sight
as you lay beneath the cherry tree
and my heart sank down to my knees
I stooped close down to see what was left
Nothing much there below halfway
It was summer -- you drew your last breath
The air was hot and heavy set
God damn painful, I'd have to bet
How long?
I could barely think at all that night
Felt like I didn't know them that night
All I can see though I seethe and fight
is the look that you held in your eyes
Your sweet tongue there, lolled to the side.
How long?

Dusted
03:25

|
I was dusted and left out
with the rain
wondering
The things that I could observe
How you fit everything
My shoulder cracked and burned
like a time we once shared
Now I'm a loss for words
and the writing's on the wall
I'm aware a sharp pain lives
in my side, digging deep
It could be the end of me
but I'm trapped
don't you see?
Be it body
Be it mind
I think time is unknown
I feel like we have grown.
You're my friend but I am lost
now
