set a timer and ill run around
ill tell myself
to come back to this spot

ill go about my day
count up all my memories
and find my favorite one

like the time i found a necklace
between the clouds
beyond the tree

i cant believe you really thought
did you really think
you could spy on me?

it was just about a week
we mourned eachothers side
a vigil over night

kisses on your cheek
kiss the tears away
until the chosen day

come out from my rock
and look up at the sun
hanging on the wall

star begin to fall
virgin of the dawn
in her lettuce shawl

lay my tongue on the dirty ground
thats how i know which way is down
when i can only think about her painted feet
and stained glass frown

ill be in utah
or further south
in red rock
knocking hoodoos down

and i suspect
ill see you there
the one i love
to pin it down

going slow i can
detach myself from them
and be alone with him

later ill come back
ill love them all again
i wont hate another man

when im old and done
angels haul me up
by my armpits in the sun

please tell me where she is
and if it doesnt hurt to ask
when will she be back?

god told me i was supposed to die
but id slipped his mind
for several months

and that supper is a pathetic meal
and so is breakfast
and so is lunch

i crawled up out my piled up
wrecked up plane
in the shining dawn

if today is long enough
i said ill put the poison
where it belongs

lay my tongue on the dirty ground
thats how i know which way is down
when i can only think about her painted feet
and stained glass frown

ill be in utah
or further south
in red rock
knocking hoodoos down

and i suspect
ill see you there
the one i love
to pin it down

tired of sleeping
and waking up
tired of working
and making love

the plain is dark
the moon is hard
was it necessary
to have come so far?
