Somewhere

Somewhere past the forest trees
Far beyond the shallow breeze
Somewhere
Up and through the iron gates
i know where for me she waits
Somewhere
Burning sage and lighting coal
Har far’s too far when your trying to go
Somewhere
Fruits gonna fall when its ripe to the soul
Im down on my knees I’m watching it roll
Somewhere
Im not here or near or there
i’m just around the bend I swear
Somewhere
broken thorn on twisted vine
Someone born and someone is dyin
Somewhere

No Reservations

My secret love she comes and goes
Don’t know how much I need her
I walk these shores and cry alone
And rest this heavy fever
To sail along the sea at night
And float on star reflections
My motors turn my wings spread wide
And I have no reservations
Earth and wind make harmony
Never will I correct her
“Oh the fool” she says to me
Just when I least expect her
The name she gives
Destroys my lips
And bones with its vibration
I’m not prepared to understand
And I have no reservations
Oh dear silence, yes you’re dear!
Even when you’re deafening
If I give you one good ear
To capture and arrest me
A song comes through the open fist
Of static on the station
A passing line connects all fate
And I have no reservations

Letter To You

A letter to you that I never sent
Lives in the back of my coat pocket
It reads, “Baby I love you, and let’s make amends…”
A letter to you that I never sent
Broke down in winter, on the road all alone
Stuck in a motel, no tv or phone
Bought a bottle of cheap wine and got to the end
I wrote a letter to you that I never sent
Well I never wrote you a letter before
And I never wrote another no more
I purged my soul, I purged my soul
down to the bone
Like a fallout survivor, I came to terms with myself
Told you things I never told anyone else
On motel stationary with a dying blue pen
I wrote a letter to you that I never sent
Time takes forever or no time at all
First you crawl, then you walk, then you run, fly or fall
The years come and go, who knows where they went?
I wrote a letter to you that I never sent

Coffee & Weed

Coffee and weed, coffee and weed
The only two things that I’ll ever need
You can keep your fancy car and your color tv
Just give me some coffee and weed
Well, my mind's made up
I’ll be sippin my cup and
Smokin' on Annie’s homegrown
Well, I couldn't feel better
Don't care about the weather
Or the fact that I’m alone
Except for some records by
John Coltrane, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee
I wouldn’t need much more for my desert shore
Except for coffee and weed
Coffee and weed, coffee and weed
The only two things that I’ll ever need
You can keep your fancy car and your color tv
Just give me some coffee and weed
From the late February
To the early spring
I used to feel lonely and sad
I tried meditation
Prescription medication
And neither were really that bad
I felt good for a minute
But somehow I'd spin it
Get strung out or just float around
'Til I found a cuz
In a coffee buzz
And a lil' herb to mellow that down
Coffee and weed, coffee and weed
The only two things that I’ll ever need
You can keep your summer home and the jacuzzi
Just gimme that coffee and weed
Every morning I wake
Boil water and bake
Play a tune on a broken guitar
Top shelf ain't free
But that’s for me
So I'm hoping by tomorrow I’ll be a star
I’ve narrowed it down
To the finer things
In life, you wouldn’t believe
True happiness
Is anyone's guess
But for me, it's coffee and weed
Coffee and weed, coffee and weed
The only two things that I’ll ever need
You can bet you bottom doll-la la oui oui
Im good with coffee and weed
