See God in that woman

Over the Rhine

Trying trying trying

To ride the tomb

A blooming is coming

For us both

Bless the day

When an angel recreates

When an angel is still

Grant at the station

A heavy ascent

And tear strips of waiting

For a curtain of new

 

I’d like to take care

I’d like to take flight

With one hand to guide

And the other to roam

Over and up

Dont want you to go

It feels like sand is running out

Ivy who knew

Growing up high

Stowing up high

Living room in the sky

A blankety-blank world of freedom

And you never feared

The running of the bulls

Not like now

Because you spun the moons

In a close controlled circuit

Afraid to move your finger from the trigger

Then the click and the flip

And you’re sharing the table

With all-along friends

All-along groomsmen

All-along sister saints

And now the story problem

That needs to solved

Is the entertainment bit

The refreshing bit

The artist bit

People then fill

People then fill

People then fill

The new tide

Naive in the most wonderful way

With gravy-space for grace

Right in the twixt

Between awe and oh

All hands have levers

It is so it is so

But time and again

Painters paint

A real image

Of freedom

And a man decides

To work

On eleven

Bikes and dirt roads

And along comes a mermaid

On eleven

Snapping turtles and pet deer

And sleeping bags on the floor

On eleven

Burning and learning

And church softball teams

On eleven

A first girlfriend and a hero

And flipping go-carts

On eleven

Vodka and a beachhouse

And fish hooks

On eleven

On eleven

On eleven

Many of our kind

Are not of your sort

So we are the same kind

But not the same sort

And I wanna know about your kind

Because all of you are beautiful

I don’t think I’m one of your kind

But could I ever be

What would it be like to be of your kind

To have peace plus polish

You welcome me in as if I am your kind

So our hearts beat the same

Take it easy on my eyes

Little boy can’t pick up a big ton

You smile because you know the heavy

You smile because you know the journey

Take it easy on my balloon

Can’t hold the whole ocean

You smile because you know the heavy

You smile because you know the journey

Take it easy on my window

Hope can travel light-years

You smile because you know the heavy

You smile because you know the journey

I’m sorry

But I can’t waterdown

What you’re doing to me

I can’t tear down

That neon sign

For the love

Of your boy

You’re turning up chairs

Ripping down dividing walls

And ringing dinner bells

All because of home

All because of home calling

The bobbers down down

And I cant get away

There’s a change in the air

And I think I’m safe

You finally lassoed my heart

Put your finger on my soul

And I see the people hope

The blinds are up on the roll

And I see people hope

So call me steady

All because of home

All because of home calling

Sometimes

You need a friend

And chicken skewers

With a pesto drizzle

And simply an opportunity

To verbalize how you’re doing

As best you can

Even if it doesn’t make sense

There is growing

That has to be done

Even when you don’t know

What you like

So be careful

Who you hand

The megaphone to

Make sure

There’s wisdom

And the best heart

 

It’s simple in the spring

I say it to believe it

Then sleep on stone pillows

With a roaring sound machine

And like a cat, I play keep away

With the thought of the living thing

One week at a time

But 30 days comes back around

So soon so soon

And I don’t have a clue

So postpone

Start in the fall

Ok but I’m numb
