Drove down to Lovejoy
Slow death around me
Took the border at the City of Light
Would have done anything that night
Turned on to Moreland
Saw you as I came around
Emerging out of yellow light
In your old Levis
You smelled of whiskey
Same old affliction
Yeah you hurt me
You took me up to your room
Gave me gifts you had stolen
How'd you get your crooked smile
To look so even?
Took me up to your room
Gave me gifts you had stolen
How'd you get your crooked smile
To look so genuine?
I still dream about those holy walls
Soap and sheep's clothing
I will never forget
Your gift of illusion
Have you ever been so tired of lonely
Love makes you exhausted?
I felt safe with you
But honey I wasn't
When I tell the story
I leave out how I loved you
When I tell the story
I leave out how I love you

The far ridge at the break of day
The haunted pink of a sun that won't show it's face
and I wonder
how's it look to her?
Does she feel the cruelty I feel?
Young range
Only a few days free
Was it really love
If you lost yourself when you found me?
I brush her mane
Curry her chest back to her flank
Run my hands down her legs
To feel for the heat of pain
Feel her eye on me
Hung boards in protection against the hugeness of it all
Only for a few hours
We eat
We sleep
On our feet
The dawn breaks
Young range
only a few days free
Is it really love
If you lost yourself when you found me?
Is it really love?
Is it really love?
In this ancient space
The two of us in relay
And I learned the only thing I can say
Is it ends with me
Young range
Only a few days free
Is it really love
if you lost yourself
when you found me?
Is it really love?
Is it really love?
Is it really love?

Blackberry Bush

The night was inky blue
You were there
Did you feel it pull
To the interior?
From the side of the road
At the Superstore in Sooke
The future hung as heavy as
The blackberry bush
How long will it go?
How long will it go?
To the ones who believed
With me thinking it was quaint
Searching through the leaves
For the fruit I couldn't taste
And every night I walk these streets
They're tearing at my rags
Reaching up inside of me
Where the juice hadn't stained
How long will it go?
How long will it go?
I met you in your apartment
Summer haze
Wish that I could go back
Halcyon days
Go back, go back, go back, go back
Go back, go back, go back...
Tell me you'll be there
Tell me you'll be there
Tell me you'll be there
You got it wrong, too

Back when I met you
I could use a little kindness
After what I been through
Been out so long
I had become my clothes
You couldn't believe
The tales I told
You couldn't believe what I'd seen
Said it didn't have to be that way for me
Woke up
in the far back room
to the sunrise and to you
I called you my lover and it was true
but when it's cold outside
it gets to you
And it isn't odd to leave
It isn't hard to leave
am I talking about you or me?

Walk to the water's edge
Never high as this
Stop and drink a can
At the bottom step
"Have you ever had to hold yourself back
from the edge?" I said
You answered "yes" and held my hand
Ohio River you know you aren't true
A different state from what you say
I will die and come back to you
Clear as day, clear as day
It's 3 a.m. it's warm for February
Can you feel it?
The flags are at half mast and
So low
Here in the bottomlands
Where you're staying
With me supposed to leave again
Ohio River you know you're not true
A different state from what you say
I will die and come back to you
Clear as day
Clear as day

When will you wear your shroud?
Will I even know?
Bound to the ground
Would I been better never to know?
Your long dark hair
Fallen in front of your face
For a moment there
We weren't going anyplace
Held my heart in your hands
Fingers on my lips
Outside time and space like this
Hazy sky above
The cool faceless moon
It will stay so young
But not me and you
