Small Bird Song |
You always seem to strike me |
As a Helen of Troy |
Sending sons off to war |
Making men of boys |
And grace ain’t hard to fall from |
When you’re sitting up so high |
It’s the way in which you tumble |
The speed that you collide |
Like a hammer with an anvil |
Like a lake beneath the rain |
With the lowest low you’ve ever known |
In the age that you’ve obtained |
Babe I’m bound for angels |
Where the ten meets the five |
I followed odd numbers up north |
And the evens side to side |
Being headed home |
Is a special kind of hell |
Where the fire that you burn in |
Is one you built yourself |
You know I keep a temper |
Like the song of a small bird |
Begging for sweet summer |
To remember her |
If home is where the heart is |
I guess it’s just as well |
I must have left my home in Denver |
With a glowing girl |
Talk to me of Texas |
and the time you spent there |
About that gypsy girl in a border town |
And the visions she saw clear |
With your skin as soft as sawdust |
And a smile’s crooked charm |
Baby, drinking helped to pass the time |
But this is moving on |
On a westbound road towards Tuscon |
With the desert passing by |
The sky hung like a hammock |
Rocked me like a lullaby |
