If you catch me sleeping you'll catch me dreaming that you're here and if you wake me then just like magic you'll appear and when the ocean was a little girl she had a dream that she'd break up the world but even she couldn't do it. If you catch me leaving you'll catch me leaving you behind and how could I do it? How could I treat you so unkind? and when the morning was a little boy he had a dream he'd make the sun his toy but even he couldn't do it. If you catch me lying you'll catch me lying to myself and if you tell me I'll go and send me off to hell and when Jesus was a little lamb He took the lonely ones up in His hands but even He couldn't hold them. Hail Mary Blue blank as a Greek's lost head cut in two the Dutch Boy dissolved in lead On the moon the dark spots are growing bright dream come true a stomachache in the night On the wind the kite is a palimpsest in the end you're sleeping for someone else. Watch the patterns change in bristling brindled black. speckled night comes down to spackle up the cracks but I can't trust it, not at all. what's that shifting at the wall?

World is Big 03:05
God isn't out there on the porch drinking the milk from Kitty's bowl. I wait for no one anymore and get just what I bargained for. I drink my coffee morning light and take my pills most every night. The gloomy days don't drain my blood, just fill my garden up with mud. This world is big and ending soon. I wanna spend my time with you. I watch you stop and turn around. I smile I choke, don't make a sound. And in the evening hours few I wanna end the day with you. We'll keep some flowers in the sill. I'll keep an eye that they don't wilt.

Hey 03:16
I should have told you we were coming down. I should have asked if you would be around. I think I've got your number in my phone. I know I fuck around a lot but this isn't a joke. Hey what you doing later on tonight? After our shift ends we can walk under the lights. Hey what you doing later on tonight? I should have asked you but something wasn't right. What would we even do? You know I love wasting all your time. What would we even say? You know I've got nothing on my mind.

Sorry I don't mean a word I say. Keep disappointing you, trust me anyway. Though I've grown older I feel the same. Sorry I couldn't even say your name. You are good as anyone.

Stars on my ceiling glowing eerie. My head's like a fountain overfilling. The sky's got a lot of ways to take you back. Planes dropped two buildings out of blue sky Two Hundred Thousand, a bull for a bullseye. The sky's got a lot of ways to take you back. Souls in a sickly halo burning Grease on the axis, world is turning. The ground's got a lot of ways to take you back. "Heaven's a place where nothing happens" a blink in the night where all time collapses. The sun's got a lot of ways to take you back.

Whippoorwill 02:21
I draw lines around your head sunflare in the lenses I got crossed and fell asleep dreaming of rippling grass and trees one two three In the yard don't keep a thing. The whippoorwill's not singing, but I can talk just like you so you don't have to. One, two, three.
7.
When you go away I try to picture your face. Hollow in the head, a thin line pushed it out of place. When the breeze blows back the blinds they cast a shadow, cast a spell in an empty room. Hot and cold, silver and gold, Oh wonderful life. What's it worth? We can't be sure what's on our loves' minds. When the breeze blows back the blinds they let some sun in for a spell in an empty room and we can't be like little branches in the water tangled up till you can't see through. You're just like a little pebble rolling in the stream, catching light and catching shade and getting caught between.

Water Etc. 07:20

Circle Walk 04:10
Last of light over your warm bed wanders low the frigid sky, so we rise to walk the dog a circle and stamp our boots outside. It's never gonna come back. no way. Follow you through your mother's kitchen and back into your room. Going through the unaccustomed motions, you're pardoning my youth. It's never gonna come back. no way. (I miss the cold the windowfull of snow the colonies of blue but I never did miss you.)
