Race through a field of corn,
my lover asks,
dance you were never born,
an altar to pray upon,
how can you live like that,
heart beats without sound,
I want to call form,
roar like a big cat,
am not a fool forlorn,
flee a love that's sad,
no kids on the latch,
my loving isn't bad,
spirits perform ancient charms,
forget our little chats,
gallop to a perfect sun,
run before a following storm,
its not an easy task,
to ride freight trains home,
adjust my Ray Bans.

A needle truth is never easy,
it sparkles where lies end,
to always gild the lily,
is there ever a time,
that forever tends,
to claim we're all fine,
bites the hand that deserts us,
cadges off our friends,
when they confer illusion,
light shines our Valentines,
hot brown days send,
tidal boats to the skyline,
absence is a lost release,
even as we set,
fire to every belief,
we don't mind
betraying hopes pretend,
if they ask us why,
say it's in the sand.

Waiting for the train,
a cloudy day a breeze,
there's a tidal spray,
you never really own,
what's gone to seed,
in these solid Ocean towns.
long journeys nerves frayed,
its gone half past three,
he won't wave goodbye again,
am cool but turn ,
when he closes the gate,
still feel my stomach churn,
me who'll take the blame,
through windows in the rain,
looking out over the Bay,
me who shouts too firm,
he'll always make me pay,
let him go and burn,
love in stupid ways.

She measures a distance beaten,
by public telephones,
across fields of blue wheat,
she won't bathe in wine ,
isolated but not alone,
lives by a water chime,
a granny rolls up sleeves,
like the book she holds,
her rifle next to the sheets,
what better cure is a cry,
to surrender perfume soaked,
a lover from old times,
her drink is whisky neat,
ravaged lipstick Eau De Cologne,
she whispers her feelings,
secrets like lemons and lime,
flow from her garden wall,
she doesn't care for time,
carrying this load.

Eyes beat like fireflies,
who is the fool,
dancing on the bread line,
they ask me to play,
this Sunday in June,
face Up to past games,
sunlight on the lilac,
turns purple and cool,
little faith in signs,
crazy side of the Bay,
they want me to muse,
how they've been betrayed,
our family's demise,
the money tooled,
burned thru their lives,
don't ask me to say,
every meeting's a duel,
am not cut out that way,
know whats been done.

When you talk coastlines,
when you feel safe,
remember this time,
pay off the loans,
coming back you say,
we'll have no more scorn,
who needs to downsize,
everything here's fine,
push into the light,
hope for better form,
sharp as a needle in sunshine,
happy for being born,
don't talk about crime,
a bridge across the plain,
we'll forge own designs,
try to perform,
where kids are not pains,
drinking wine from bowls,
this is no game.

Forget ferocious ease,
for any justice sought,
love sets off the genie,
flings explosive contours,
what cannot be bought,
captured between its zones,
she shakes her car keys,
November's for New York,
it's certainly no Odyssey,
filled with caring thoughts,
her worried family notes,
how she keeps the score,
nothing better seized,
than the whiff of blasphemy,
gilded behind retreat,
more than any human cause,
what betrays her dreams,
stifles on the carrefour,
is demands for more.
