On My Line
03:11

I’ve been waiting all night
No phone call
No message on my line
I pace the floor
And smoke another cigarette
I’d like to believe it's an easy thing to forget
But love is a habit
That I don’t intend to quit yet
Maybe it’s better off like that
Maybe it’s better off unsaid
But I’ve been waiting so long
Three nights, babe
That have pulled me into dawn
And every day goes by
But you don’t see
How quietly my heart keeps breaking
Love is a habit
And it’s killing me in silence
Maybe it’s better off like that
Maybe it’s better off unsaid

Another Dimension

Once I had a mind to
Hold a light to you
And know better
The fine lines
And watch as tired eyes close
Slow motion
The windows are opening
I love you in another dimension
Why not make it two
Heard it from another life
And I’m offering to you
And now I find myself
An old memory
Benediction
But not for me
Because in that dream I found you
So much earlier
Too early
And we laugh
You know, I love you in another dimension
Why not make it two
I love you in another dimension
Why not make it two
Heard it from another life
And I’m offering to you
In the morning heart is strange
And heavy
From feeling
Everything all night

As Many Birds Flying
04:50
|
|||
|
I hear your voice
Sawing through the canyon
Like a wish
On the wind
Through the trees
And I am listening
In a daze
In a dream
When it hits me
In a wave
As many birds flying
As water flowing freely
As…
As some light falling
Slowly turning lavender
I forgot to look up
Now I suffer
Make me want to cry
But I am a dry creek bed
Sighing in the summer
And I worry some
That I’ve loved too much
Now it has left me empty
As…
My body knows
Everything
Stronger
Than me
I know it
The feeling of your good love
In my arms
A kiss in the dark
My body knows it
I know it
The feeling of good love
In my arms
Slow down

Black Eyed Susan
05:03
|

|
It doesn’t make it harder
Or easy on me
But there is some sadness
When you toss and turn in your sleep
And you whisper words of love
Just to take it all back in a breath
‘Cause when I dream
It’s yellow flowers
And a Black Eyed Susan
To remind me
That even through these darkened dreams
I still need tending
Yeah even through these darkened dreams
I still need tending
And I’m just trying to get along
I saw love come and let go
Up a ways
And through the valley
And I’m just trying to get along
Maybe I was born a rose
And forgot how to bloom
Maybe you were born a lily
Born too bright to see the truth in things
And we’re just trying to get along
Oh, to be tender like you
Isn’t a waning moon
But a seed in the dark
Never knowing June

I Believe In You

What I understood
What love was
What made it good
Made unsustainable
As we grow up
In the dry dirt
Being worried for
And wondered at
Why do they keep coming back
Why do we keep coming back
But I don't’ want that kind of callous contract
I want something sweet and pure
Something that’s made to last
And so tender
I believe in you my love
Oh, certain as the most certain sure does
I’m giving you my heart
And I’m giving it to you with all that i’ve got
Oh yes
I’m going to carry it in me
Like a rose carries its scent
Oh yes
For that kind of prosperity
I can make change
In due time
Well spent
But what does it mean
If i can’t find that small thing
That keeps grief within reach
No holds barred
And grinding teeth
Sometimes I get cut, yes
Sometimes I bleed, yes
But it’s worth its wonder in happiness
So tender
I believe in you my love
I’m giving you my heart
And I’m giving it to you with all that i’ve got

I saw you misty by the lake today
Turning over stone in your silent way
Burning off the rest of what’s been lucky
I saw baby blue turn gray
I saw light break through an hourglass
And sweet smoke rise in a tired dance
Love is hungry work
And we’re so salty for making some good magic last
You know
I could take good care of you
Fall is framing
From a different state
I see your colors changing
I’d sure like to stay as long as you’d have me
Though I know nothing ever stays the same
I know it’s hard to forget good timing
But, life’s been good to us
And we’re surviving
You know
I could take good care of you

Glass door slides to the left
And away from the heart
To gently let the rain it
To the room
Where we slept through the dark
And woke again
To thunder through the body
And now life is still
Please don’t break spell
Give me just a little while
It’s all alright
You’ve got time
Let it in
Let it die
You ask me what I’m doing
I will tell you
In short words
That I’m thinking of my soul
In many places
And watch you retrace steps
To taste a memory
Before you forget
And now life is fine
Please don’t break spell
Give me just a little while
It’s all alright
You’ve got time
Let it in
Let it die

So Far So Good

So far so good
I know, it feels like a bad dream
Well hold on
Though, it’s never ending
I want to kiss you for the first time again
My love is in the yard
It’s a silent song of summer
And it breaks my heart
Over and over
I want to kiss you for the first time again
But why should I get what I want
Why should I be granted love
When the world
So hungry
For what I have been holding
That I don’t have eyes
To see how I have so long
Been carrying with me
I want to see you for the first time again
But why should I get what I want
Why should I be granted love
Sometimes forget
Remember
My love in the yard
Is a silent song of summer
And it breaks my heart
Over and over
I want to kiss you for the first time again

Early riser
Stayed awake to late again
But by the time I realize
It’s just so hard to pretend
Why do I worry
Oh heart be light
I can be so good at forgetting
And push the sweetest things from my mind
And I need to you remind me that
Love is good
When its here to stay
Yes it is, yes it is, yes it is
And it’s so find believing
It’ll never go away
Keeps me burning
Through a tired song
Sometimes fragile feels like fire
A kiss be a day and beyond
And you keep reminding me that
Love is good
When its here to stay
Yes it is, yes it is, yes it is
And it’s so fine believing
It’ll always be that way

Meernaa Oakland, California
I'M FLOATING UPSTAIRS, MY BEST SHOES POINTLESS.
THE SONG IN MY POCKET MAKES ALIEN GRAVITY.
THERE'S A THIRD
FLOOR WITH A GOOD VIEW. I'LL SEE THE CAR PULL UP. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO DRIVES. BOTH SEATS PLEASE ME. THE DRIVER GETS PURPOSE. THE RIDER A CHANCE TO WAVE AT A NEIGHBOR, THE MOON, A HORSE.
I WORE THIS DRESS TO BE SEEN. BUT I'M GLAD
TO HIDE PAST THE STREET LIGHTS.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!
