North Of Summer
Let me know
when you're going north of summer
I'll tag along
not so bad here
on rainy Sunday afternoon
thought of you still warms me up
I haven't had enough
I read your book
read it cover to cover
didn't take that long
where'd it go?
you seem so far away from me now
in some distant land
I held your hand
That's when you remark
how certain things
always remind you
that's when you remark
how life should be
Take it slow
no need to run for cover here
I understand
go bang your drum
even find another lover
that broken heart will bury you
I'll still marry you

Reminiscent 4
All roads leading back to you
are over grown with broken dreams
and twisted winds of blame
drown out the days where joy remained
these patterns of the mind
that we in time may come to know
so turbulent with madness
senses stir immortal souls
You are an artifact
portrait painter
phantom muse
biography of all the reason why
a hypothetical scenario set in the past
reminiscent of
and searching for
The rivers of regret
you row upon beneath the moon
has washed your feet
with all imperfections now removed
the ghostly silence
that is haunting you forever more
begs the future to reveal itself
while serendipity stands at the door
You are a photograph
a journal entry censorship
a fading breath upon a pane of glass
an ancient parable
woven from leaves of grass
reminiscent of
and searching for
You are invisible
evidence of circumstance
synopsis of a mercurial mind
a lucid fever dream
once awake I still recall
reminiscent of
and searching for

Hit It A Mile
Batter up my darling
hit it a mile
there's a breeze out today
that keeps the heat
away for awhile
suddenly it seems like
everything has changed
like the way it all turns green
and the dandy lions
sprout up from the ground
I don't have much
I have too much
you won't stay in touch
now that we're all grown up
I know that things
didn't turn out to be
the way you thought they would
it's hard to satisfy
when love holds you down
all the little things
that bring you to mind
left behind in the backyard
just waiting there
for memory to find
I don't have much
I have too much
you won't stay in touch
now that we're all grown up
Batter up my darling
hit it a mile
there's a breeze out today
that keeps the heat
away for awhile

Franklin Beach
It seems I'm hopeful
I'm going to heaven
you said you'd wait there
till I'm done with this
the nights are lonely
I listen to the traffic
and the clatter
of the skateboarders tricks
I was pathetic
now I'm beholden
I had objections
I've now found acceptance
I remember
you were a terrible dancer
but your eyes
made everything right
But by noon I'm thinking
my day should be over
I'll try not to rush through this life
and I talk to the water
on a beach they call Franklin
as the sun sets behind the sky
There is searching
that's done int he winter
and energy
that comes out in spring
there is innocence
that is lost in the summer
and peace as the leaves are falling
But by noon I'm thinking
my day should be over
I'll try not to rush through this life
and I talk to the water
on a beach they call Franklin
as the sun sets behind the sky

Marathon Man
Did you ever think
that you would have to try
and separate the clouds
from the blue sky?
1975
the year it all began
the rocking back and forth
the places that I ran
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Did you ever think
you'd have to figure out
the patters of a brain
the truth inside these doubts?
forgot who I am
forgot why we ran
forgot why you care
why you're still there
I'm doing all I can
Marathon Man
Who would I be without you?
I don't wanna think about it
I just wanna carry on
carrying on
Did you ever think
you'd have to declare
the spirits in the house
the shadows in the air?
then again my friend
it may be all pretend
but it's leading me to
do all I can
Marathon Man
Marathon Man
Marathon Man

You Can Go Back
You can go back back back
you can go back back back
I can be just like before
I can be better I can be more
forget a few things where you're at
and you can go back back back
you can go back back back
you can go back back back
I can be just like before
I can be better I can be more
do the things you used to do
people will still give up on you
you can go back back back
you can go back back back
Back is walking
walking like you crawl
straight up through down
naked's the price for all
naked beautiful girl
woman bare your soul
bare it all now
let me know
what it is that you know
I've been trying real hard
looking for a job
I've been looking through the eyes
of a frantic man
I've been trying to find some soul
in all the boys and girls
who used to talk about so much more
than tells and visions
And I'm never gonna see them change
and I'm never gonna re-arrange
I'm only with you cause I'm lazy
and I'm crazy
and I'm holding on
you can go back back back
you can go back back back

Things We Would Say
I mix cement
to dry as hard as stone
and fix the crack
that the winter has worn
it was crumbling
falling away
to the ground
I'm imagining
I wrote you a note
that you read in your home
it would say
something new
you didn't know
and there are things
you would say
and I don't know
When you find a home
it isn't always where your from
you aren't the things that you have done
it's just sometimes
we gotta do things
while we wait
If you think of me
I guess I'd like to know
even if I already know
I can take hint
I can read a look
I can clear a path
and there are things
that you would say
and I don't know
There are stones in your shoes
little stones
little poems
there are stones in your shoes
little stones
little poems
I mix cement
to dry as hard as stone
and fix the crack that the winter has worn
it was crumbling
falling away
to the ground
there are things you would say
I don't know
all those thing
that you would say
and I don't know

New Beginnings
All the gifts god gave me
I don't understand
and now and then
they slip through my hands
over towering cedars time commands
all the winding rivers of best laid plans
In my darkest hour
I may cast a stone
or drift into the wonder
of the great unknown
my friends - my family
say I'm not alone
it's in the place I'm standing
where I'm home
But the wind it called me over there
to the clear blue water
and the clean fresh air
they say there's new beginnings
if you dare
but the winters cold
and the fields are bare
In every family
one's gonna stay
one's gonna go
cause they'll never be themselves
until the roam
forever haunted by what they might
never know
safer with strangers
and the love that they show
A soulful clarity
that's peace of mind
till the doors of conspiracy
blow open wide
as passion and reason
are the day and the night
our waking hours
the cast of lights
