strange animals
sing her love songs
in the woods
she’s walking
in summer shoes
her blue summer shoes
The Poems She Had Written About God
I used to steal red roses
and give her when she opened her door
in panties, pale skin and naked feet
on the hallway floor
we sat on her bed
and she always read
the poems she had written about God
Oh God My God
the poems she had written about God
She promised to love me
more than she’ll ever love herself
in panties, pale skin and naked feet
on the hallway floor
we sat on her bed
and she always read
In panties, pale skin and naked feet
Oh God My God
In panties, pale skin and naked feet
Chet's Last Breath
I tangled her hair in my sleep
dark eyes started to weep
she turned towards me in bed
Can you hear it? she said
It’s Chet Baker playing the trumpet
with his very last breath
Let’s Go Dancing
She took my hand
said let’s go dancing
and I kissed her way to soon
She took my heart
said lets go dancing
I want to hear, sing my tune
She took my love
said lets go dancing
Now time’s passed its early June
She’s in the woods
she’s dancing
climbing trees to watch the moon
Gold and silver fishes
I found her song on the floor, by my bed
a creased little note with words she never said
She wrote
This is a song about the rats
the gold and silver fishes
the frog that’s half dead
and the rainbow cats
She sang
You ask me if I don’t love you no more
I said I just love myself less when you leave me
She sang
Baby lets go night walking, night talking
lets pretend that we are free
I sat with her song, on the floor by the bed
a creased little tune with words she never said
She wrote
This is a song about the talking cherry tree
the two little fat dogs
the white ghost horse
and the smoking bumblebee
I call her up
and ask her if she don’t love me no more
She says I just love myself less when you leave me
I sing
Baby lets go night walking, night talking
lets pretend that we are free
She sings
baby go ride your white ghost horse
I’ll be here night walking
cherry tree talking
where fat dogs are barking
bumblebees sparkling
look for gold and silver fishes
a half dead frog?a rat and a cat
She says
You ask me if I don’t love you no more
I'll say I love myself more when you need me
I'll sing baby let’s go night walking night talking
now I know that we are free
Bulls in Spain
Help me escape this mental institution
Baby you’re my rescue my only solution?
She hitch-hiked from her pain
now she’s lost
chasing bulls in Spain
Love’s a puzzle kiss me goodbye
Baby without you I’ll rot I’ll die
Stick: Her heart’s a cradle made of sex and love and rock n roll
I helped her escape the mental institution
‘cause she’s my rescue my only solution?
we hitch-hiked from our pain
now were lost
chasing bulls in Spain
Love’s a puzzle don’t kiss me goodbye
Baby without you I’ll rot I’ll die
Fever Bird
And you said you wanted to dance
underneath the apple trees that night the summer came alive
you didn’t say nothing of our melancholy
and you thought of my mouth
the things I said
you never woke me up
but you watched me
there I was stained by the sun
there I was stained
