It’s a still life water color, Of a now late afternoon, As the sun shines through the curtained lace And shadows wash the room. And we sit and drink our coffee Couched in our indifference, Like shells upon the shore You can hear the ocean roar In the dangling conversation And the superficial sighs, The borders of our lives. ---

In the islands where I grew up Nothing seems the same It’s just the patterns that remain An empty shell But there’s a strangeness in the air you feel too well The fishing boats go out across the evening water Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border The wind whips up the waves so loud The ghost moon sails among the clouds Turns the rifles into silver on the border On the border On the border On the border ---

In the shadow of the moon, She danced in the starlight Whispering a haunting tune To the night… Velvet skirts spun 'round and 'round Fire in her stare In the woods without a sound No one cared… Through the darkened fields entranced, Music made her poor heart dance, Thinking of a lost romance… Long ago… Feeling lonely, feeling sad, She cried it the moonlight. Driven by a world gone mad She took flight… ---

Well I woke up Sunday morning With no way to hold my head, that didn’t hurt And the beer I had for breakfast Wasn’t bad so I had one more for dessert Then I fumbled through my closet For my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt And I shaved my face and combed my hair And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day I’d smoked my brain the night before on cigarettes and songs That I’d been pickin’ But I lit my first, and watched a small kid cussin’ at a can That he was kickin’ Then I crossed the empty street and caught the Sunday smell Of someone fryin’chickin And it took me back to somethin’ that I had lost somehow, Somewhere along the way ---
