Rosy fingers close
Around the throat of a long day
And what a stupefying
Final breath to take
Is it tomorrow where you are?
Well I just can’t seem to recall
If I count fourteen hours forward
Or behind
And the cigarettes
That I bought to impress you
I left ‘em in my pocket and ran through the wash
And now they’re soft and so am I
Do my questions bear repeating?
I can’t tell and it’s been
Eating me alive
Do I rephrase or let it slide?
I hear the opening bars of “Lola”driving home
I turn the dial
I turn to stone
Before a single word’s been sung
Shangri-la-la-la-la-la
I count to ten and back again
And then once more
Just to be sure that nothing’s changed
Holy roller
Panic attack
Your knots unwind
Turning water to brine
It’s no surprise
Rosy fingers close
Around the throat of a long day
And what a stupefying
Final breath to take
Is it tomorrow where you are?
Well I just can’t seem to recall
If I count fourteen hours forward
Or behind
And the cigarettes
That I bought to impress you
I left ‘em in my pocket and ran through the wash
And now they’re soft and so am I
Do my questions bear repeating?
I can’t tell and it’s been
Eating me alive
Do I rephrase or let it slide?

Along Alone

I leave without my lady at dawn
Will I be a ghost for you when I’m gone?
No shoes at the door, a half empty bed
A calendar nailed to the back of your head
You’ve gotta get help before I go
You’ve gotta get along alone
My heart is a hammer, my thoughts are like flies
It’s harder and harder to breathe these nights
She’s a ghost all around, I still smell her perfume
And I still turn to see if it bleeds from you
You’ve gotta get help before I go
You’ve gotta get along alone

Gemini, I never knew
Just how bad I had it
Broke the habit, start anew
Mindless joy of brotherhood
It took so long to realize
It doesn’t feel like what it should
Time and date in the bottom right
Reliving every Christmas night
From ‘94 to ‘99
I stopped to watch them bat the blooms
I don’t care if we don’t get there soon
I’m just glad to leave the room
Frightened by the height of it
The steeper stairs
The evening prayers
To make it go away
I never cared much for the song
It’s there and then it’s gone
Let the record play
You’re learning how to act the fool
The curtains draw, your nerves are raw
But I know you’ll never lose
Laugh until our mouths are dry
And water pools obscure our eyes
Well, it comes as no surprise
Lightened by the sight of him
The easy chairs
The free repairs
To anything that breaks
I never cared much for the song
It’s there and then it’s gone
Let the record play
Lightened by the sight of him
The easy chairs
The free repairs
To anything that breaks

The Actor's Leaving
02:24
|

|
“Taps” plays to the VA afternoon staff
From somebody’s phone in the bottom of the gurney
None of us hurry
To the elevator doors
And halfway through an unheard-of
Third glass of wine
When you choke up and I realize
I’ve never seen you crying
In all of my life
Tulip, don’t you feel you’re out of season?
Strike a chord
Outcome uneven
Strike the set
The actor’s leaving
Five days pass as we turn to the urn and the ash
Numb as we hum through the hymnals
Sightreading for symbols
On page forty-four
The next one comes
Guess the sun did just as it said
And its promises pass through the panes
Of glass hanging stained
That falls on her veil
Tulip, don’t you feel you’re out of season?
Strike a chord
Outcome uneven
Strike the set
The actor’s leaving

You’d have to be crazy
To walk into the winter the way you’re dressed
But you wear it oh so well
And, darling, you just may be
But you’re better at explaining the way you think you feel
Go on and give ‘em hell
Maybe I’m just having second thoughts
Maybe I’m just having second thoughts
About everything I’ve ever known
No effort to persuade me
You owned me from the moment you bowled me over
In the former Gardner Hotel
Thinking ‘bout it lately
You drove me to distraction every question for the asking
How do you cast your spell?
Maybe I’m in deeper than I thought
Maybe I’m in deeper than I thought
I ever could be in love with someone
On the shore of Lake Winnipeg
Celebrating someone else’s Independence Day
Wholehearted allegiance
With your hand upon my chest
