he comes like my shadow with eyes like the sea strangely revealing those places in me tossed and torn he broods like a dark storm with crushed nicotine stains upon his chapped fingers the moon in his eye unbearably lingers and i fly through the roofs on gossamer wings with the whispers of angels conspiring and i can't find my feet and i'm lost in the brush the night and the stars fuel a terrible rush i come from a cottage that's solid secure but here with my shadow we start our old war i try to contain her petty desire but it bursts like a curse in an orange red fire fancying myself on a farm with three kids shoeless and naked upon the wet earth a sensual breeze through my hair through the trees i fall to my knees in this greenland a new land kissing the ground i reach for a flower not knowing its name the image turns sour still and cold I lie there unfolded it's not like i knew him and so i return the softening newness now a curious burn and there's no waving flags to say i surrendered though there's pieces of me now shaking and tendered fancying myself on a farm with three kids shoeless and naked upon the wet earth a sensual breeze through my hair through the trees i fall to my knees in this greenland - a new land hey baby i've been thinking about your shoes hightops and laces with a touch of the blues i think i'm failing over the moon for a boy with a backroad tone down in the creek on a late afternoon telling me tall tales of blue fields and chicory kinfolk and small town trickery nothing I've ever seen but i'm liking the feeling it brings hey baby i've been thinking about your hands working an engine while shooting the breeze with your friends playing piano at church in the choir picking up a beat up guitar beckoning me under the stars singing sweet songs of jesus and gratitude getting high on love and the altitude nothing i've ever seen but i'm liking the feeling it brings and the music of the mountains pure and unadorned nothing i've ever seen but i'm liking the feeling it brings hey baby i've been thinking about what you read bird by bird and greek mythology cruisin' picassos to keep you inspired lassoing your newborn desire writing pages caffeined and wired keeping track of the mess you're making loving to stop your legs from shaking something i think i've seen but i'm liking the feeling i find it appealing i'm liking the feeling it brings After all it wasn't much just a look and even such a look like that i probably misconstrued typical of me to misread the clue the office party i had planned to be a charming witty friend with anecdotes and clever jokes to spare typical of me he was entirely unaware i was even there typical of me to think he didn't care the night before christmas eve down on sixty?seventh street i found the biggest most ridiculous lopsided tree thinking "here's a little cheer" i can take home with me he was standing on the corner keeping warm against the wind he said he thought i lived nearby should we get some apple pie typical of me i began to cry well it turned out he was shy couldn't tell me why oh what was elliptical turned to a miracle love's unpredictable and never really typical at all took a walk to the hardware store where they sell lots of hooks and metal hammer and nails asked the fella in an apron and tie did he carry a windmill 'round eight feet high? he said "lady a windmill? i don't think so hey joe do we?" joey said no i walked the aisles looking left and right and i came upon what he built that night and i'm touch and go not quite right in my heart and my soul things are a little off above and below feeling like parts not whole i'm touch and go drove my cars in circles avoiding the block begged my self please not to stop found a different coffee shop wondered if he'd ever been here or not well fifteen minutes until i was meeting my friend i can manage this will eventually end i won't be thinking how long it has been since the last time i was thinking of him chorus why do i keep remembering every small thing and what i never said and wish i had wish i had on the mountain a llama is staring at me jollly ranchers singing in a bowl of sweets i laugh out loud at an old man's remark then i take myself home and cry in the dark chorus chorus love comes in simple packages a smile on a baby raindrops in a tree taking the day off a view of the sea and love comes in simple messages you're the best friend in the world and i love you grandma jean well i got your pretty flowers do you know what i mean simple things when i'm feeling low can bring about a brighter day a drop of this a drop of that can soothe i'm not saying that it takes away those complicated things it's just that love comes in love comes in love comes in love comes in simple offerings can i help make it easy would you like a cup of tea don't you worry about tomorrow you'll be there with me love comes in simple sentiments i can see how hard you're trying you're so brave for hanging in these lessons you're learning shed light on where you've been chorus hey girl you've got your heart on your sleeve the boy that you need's gone away and everyday you say it's gonna take a bit longer stronger than a wind on an ocean wave you've got your dollars and your pennies saved gonna take a bus or train and find him one of these days what's up you're not sleeping again keep losing your books and your papers and pens thinking 'bout small conversations occasions with his mouth on your neck and hair giving over to the moment right there gonna take a bus or train and find him one of these days i know you're lonely looking for ways to pass time taking it slowly everything is gonna work out fine hey girl you've got that face on again thinking 'bout him and your heart what a sad sight you are snow comes in the springtime meantime there's a blossom hiding down below waiting for its one chance to grow gonna take a bus or train and find him one of these days one of these days love Iike a gentle wave crashing my routine days leaving beds unmade and there's plates on the counter wash on the floor socks hanging over the drawer love like the morning clouds without warning blush scarlet and rose and oh i fall into the calm as i'm lifted up in an angel's arms and the sky it's a dripping a robin's egg blue and i cry for joy as i untie my shoes and i'll be hoping and wishing and praying to stay here with you love like a yellow moon painted on midnight blue catching a wish or two and i pull on your sweater we run down the street your hand in my pocket so sweet and oh i fall into the calm as i'm lifted up in an angel's arms and the night is in motion the moment stands still i get hold of myself as i let go my will and i'll be hoping and wishing and praying to stay here with you (music bridge) and oh i fall into the calm as i'm lifted up in an angel's arms and the sky it's a dripping a robin's egg blue and i cry for joy as i untie my shoes and i'll be hoping and wishing and praying and thinking how lucky to be here with you here with you so you're waiting there shuffling on the stair hoping it finds you then you hear the whizzing think you've got the rhythm oh but it's aIready gone turning in a corner thinking you can take a pass on what has redeemed you all along you've got to rise up go with the flow you can size it up at the end of the road just get up get up getup getup get up get up and go so you fell a little landed in a riddle can't find the answer looking for distractions any interactions avoiding the calI strategizing over analyzing now you're paralyzed won't you walk yourself out that door chorus light on my shoulders sun in my eyes the moment he gave me the sky what you quoted was a loaded moment you can move now towards releasing fundamental little incremental steps one at a time sitting on the verge noticing the surge it's gonna take courage to fight for what's already yours you've got to rise up and go with the flow you can size it up at the end of the road just get up get up get up get up get up get up and go remember last sunday we talked about christmas how maybe this year we'd stay home we went to the market and then to the park it was hot and bought ice cream cones the answer machine is loaded from people condolences i just don't want to hear then there's the flowers the cards and lasagnas my insides are queasy and queer no more late night movies breakfast, brunches coffee and the paper and every morning i rolled into your arms your arms i'm still here whether i run whether i cry and you've moved on far from the earth far from the sun i dreamed last night you were here again i could feel your beard on my face i pulled you close and i drank your hair when i woke you were gone not a trace no more kissing touching squeezing crushing waking and reaching and every morning i breathed in your arms.. your arms i'm still here whether i run whether i cry you've moved on far from the earth far from the sun and i'll be waiting for a sign something small would be just fine and i know you're not coming home again as the sky turns brisk and grey i would give my life for one more day when we lose our way when we close a door knowing the mistake you've made isn't one you can ignore thinking it's too late to change thinking these new friends are the answer believing they'll be true take a breath don't move too quickly there's another way a different road always there for the taking once you say… you'll return… once you decide where you belong then i pray you'll find your way back home
