He's still a meadow child, one of the sun. I stay in the shadow until he returns. and comes back to me. . I write him postcards and letters. And he always does reply.
My mother cleans Elvis' house. Yeah, she and everybody else. . Who moved to Memphis for the King. She used to work at the Motel 6. Now she gets free guitar picks.
I knew that I loved you. The first time you got into my car. Your cheeks were flushed. And I felt a hush come over me in the dark. . I got us lost but at the next cross.
Hobos and tacos. and broken down Hondas. No-doze and slo-mos and Jane Fucking Fondas. Sunshine and red wine. And how is the torque?. I miss New York. .
wait for time to turn or you calling my name again. same talk with the same loose friends about calling you. staying young in my mind, in the windows that reflect the sun.
lay me down easy I know I've done wrong. I was out in the desert and planting head stones. you bought it, I stammered my way around love. I kindled the fires that burnt the embers above.
the overplayed disco song. pumps into the ceiling. where my poached eggs. run over my teeth. it's mother's day. i delve into. the almost creature ovary.
will you miss me my dear. and my wild wiLd hair. . maybe love is underwater. and i am caught on the rocks. i am not your enemy's daughter. i see your mind it blocks.
Alright!. I'm over by the water cooler. Listen to the chatter. While I'm working to get fired but it doesn't seem to matter. When the week is nearly through.
If you were mine. I'd make you smile. With all my foolish ways. Like light to dark. Would make a start. If only you'd notice me. . Cause there's a thousand ways.
To be young as a girl with a boy to be one. For I solemnly devote myself to thee. I'm sorry but it's true. True but shameful and vile. So I'm not real and I won't call you.
Mary Ruth is mine.. Lovely as I love her.. She would never hide. herself with another.. And I lost myself in the drying winter cold.. Dont know a thing about life but I am in love with your soul..
Martha stands. pretty just like you. i held her close. like i held you. martha sways. . and i follow suit. she fills my glass. and i toss it back. into the space that once held you.
Some people was an angry thin skinned man. Couldn't get along with his one man band. Quarter stick rocket and nails in his pocket. And a crying shame, some people is his name.
So called Mr Rock And Roll. Is dancing on his own again. Talking on his phone again. To someone who tells him that his balance is low. He's got no where to go.
Sending me a postcard from the sands. A photograph and how you're doing. You write the words in ink and cursive and. I follow along with my fingers and pretend.
I am loosing my mind over you. and I'm so sorry but soon I'll have to go. 'cause I won't shine the way you want me to shine. I'm gray, I'm pale and nothing more.
