lyrics
Run around, naked in the muck and the mire
Come sit down, beside me next to the fire
At the desk Inside my bedroom, I will teach you to sew.
Sit calmly learning this new card game you know
Sleep in the dusk, under stars
Drinking, smoking, laughing, I’m crying on your front porch
If only I could see al the reasons
To ditch work and write some music
Like grubby kids who’ve thrumbed from home
In search of soil to grow their gardens
Working, sleeping, mourning, I ‘m waiting to feel alive.
Every summer
You go away
Riding the rails up the west coast
You camp on cliffs
And misty glades
Going everywhere I wish i could go
Wasting time
On the side of the road
Crowned with flowers strumming a banjo
.
Trading locks and stick and poking
Beautiful markings on your bodies
Hunker down and tell me stories
Sorry to hear you're sick from traveling
Yes, I’ve sibbed in drunken arguments
And at times there’s been some bloodshed
Some of my friendships are still really tense
There are things we’ve said that we can’t take back
But then I look at you in all of your tenderness
Look at your face and I cannot stay angry
Holding you and dancing to our favorite song
Take the mic and sing along
You my friend, I need so desperately
Without your smile my life means nothing
You my friend, I need so desperately
Without your smile my life means nothing
You my friend, I need so desperately
Without your smile my life means nothing
This place stinks so wet and sweet
Dog-eared books and sunflower seeds
Chickens cluck, jump through windows
Painting your names above the piano
Shuffle D’s, blast rhythm
Dried blood, mucus, and gism
Bird shit rots through tempered brass
Oxidizing memories past
Come sit down, beside me next to the fire
At the desk Inside my bedroom, I will teach you to sew.
Sit calmly learning this new card game you know
Sleep in the dusk, under stars
Drinking, smoking, laughing, I’m crying on your front porch
If only I could see al the reasons
To ditch work and write some music
Like grubby kids who’ve thrumbed from home
In search of soil to grow their gardens
Working, sleeping, mourning, I ‘m waiting to feel alive.
Every summer
You go away
Riding the rails up the west coast
You camp on cliffs
And misty glades
Going everywhere I wish i could go
Wasting time
On the side of the road
Crowned with flowers strumming a banjo
.
Trading locks and stick and poking
Beautiful markings on your bodies
Hunker down and tell me stories
Sorry to hear you're sick from traveling
Yes, I’ve sibbed in drunken arguments
And at times there’s been some bloodshed
Some of my friendships are still really tense
There are things we’ve said that we can’t take back
But then I look at you in all of your tenderness
Look at your face and I cannot stay angry
Holding you and dancing to our favorite song
Take the mic and sing along
You my friend, I need so desperately
Without your smile my life means nothing
You my friend, I need so desperately
Without your smile my life means nothing
You my friend, I need so desperately
Without your smile my life means nothing
This place stinks so wet and sweet
Dog-eared books and sunflower seeds
Chickens cluck, jump through windows
Painting your names above the piano
Shuffle D’s, blast rhythm
Dried blood, mucus, and gism
Bird shit rots through tempered brass
Oxidizing memories past
