I saw her with another man walking downtown.
She’s not mine and she’ll never be
by my side walking downtown.
I only met her once before:
She was alone in a back booth,
a drink and a cigarette.
Smoking like she was waiting for someone.
Me stealing glances as she stole my breath.
The next one’s on me.
“May I take this seat?”
The rest of the bar recedes.
We talked on traveling back roads
over seas.
“Girl, a change sounds good to me.”
She said, “Who can find that Read more…

You’ve come to this, you were once a lion
You’ve come to this, bringing den here
You’ve come to this, you were a lion
You’ve come to this, sigh alone now
You walked on some tall moon tail
It’s come to this, you walked on a tall
We all know you’ve come home to fall
She’s gone, she’s gone ‘cross the border man
And you’re never gonna see her again
I could give a fuck, oh, what you do to me
But you’re party’s over, it’s Read more…

And then we all bought yachts
and race up to the islands
Moored them at the docks
leading up to our cabins
We raced up just to slow down,
we drank some, man we always do
sunglasses to the water
Our girls are looking so good
Our girls are looking so good
Hey, please pass that dish,
refill my glass,
take off the sunglasses,
The sunset-
take in the twilight.
Our girls are looking so good
Our girls are looking so good
And it was getting cold,
The bay’s Read more…

he couldn’t move
as seasoned as he was
there was something in this one
that was too much for him
he had a daughter
he hoped to live through
four years old, ten years reach to this girl
please let my girl go without knowing what i know
dont let her read this day on my face when i come home
detective, take note of all you’ve seen
like her hand still holding the smallest leaf
the neck angled too far from her body
and he body’s position Read more…

“It’s getting late”
She said
She touched my face
“Let’s stay out as late as we can”
We’ll drive around the lake
Just a little too fast
My eyes on the lights, her hand on my shoulder
Yeah, windows down the wine
In our hands
The city lights just blur
The city lights just blur
Let’s go out
On a dock
We’ll bring a bottle and blanket
And everything
Yeah everything
Everything is going our way
Is going our way
We’ll drive around the lake
Just a little too fast
My eyes on the lights, her Read more…

it’s been so long that it seems
like i’ve never been to the san juans
can we go soon?
girl slow down
girl slow down with me
if we leave now we can catch the last boat out
and that’s the best one on this clear night
under pin-pricked lights
the wind on the boat’s deck is a cold hand on her neck
we’re slipping into our cold bed
it’s been so long that it seems
that i’ve never danced with anyone
she moves so
she moves so well
if Read more…

When we made it to the garden it was well past nine
Our hands came to agreement as we walked in time
A jealous rose stole a thread from the skirted thigh
I clipped it quick with a flick of the switchblade knife,
of the switchblade knife, of the switchblade knife
That rose was so fine in her hair
The shadow in the moonlight
The hot summer night’s right
My summer angel keeps me on the run
My summer angel keeps me on the run

Our last kiss
held no hint
just smoke and a little touch of mint
and now you’re walking out the door
No broken china
on the floor by the couch
no hollow tipped attack
to put you on the out
you’re simply leaving me
not dressed to be alone
we brought forth see this coming on
Roll out your magic ride
for the next man
put on a pretty face
you’ll always win
I see you
up on Broadway
arm and arm with some bright young man
you keep walking
in a different direction
and I Read more…
