like a one two three
on the opening
come outside
won’t you pause to drift with me?
we’re going to stay put on that same page
we’ll be riding that same wave
it’s all about the cosmic flow
that we’ll never know
and to understand
would mean that we could choose our own
i bet the man that figured it all out
locked himself out of the house
all i ever do
is sit and dream of you
and wonder how that wish bone’s going to break
it’s like a favorite dream-state
of half asleep, and half awake
reality and dull shades switching place
you can wither in thought, like a burning thread
and leave your brain just’a pushing
bulging against the sides of your head.
in a distant dream
you took my hand and said, “baby, follow me.”
across the snow mounds in your high heels
my shoes weren’t even laced
and so we’ll try to block the sun
sticking out our thumbs
laying on our backs
above the dirt and garden grubs
you’ll take some pictures of my backyard
as i’m sliding a steel guitar
this flow is off the charts
and if it tears us both apart
it’s something we will live with another day
because right now it’s only you
in front of everything i do
we’ll cut the strings the stars tied to our legs
and as the sun sets i’m calmed by this muted truth
so let’s walk up to that hillside
nothing in the world
can beat this view
