last ride home
i ran this route for so long
last ride past the slow down signs
three corners beer and wine
radio to 107.5
#1 for R&B
waiting for the kids to cross at redshaw elementary
the time i fender bender-ed here is strangely sentimental
we argued and wound up getting a beer
it's right to leave, but i love many things here
last ride home
i ran this route for so long

i never knew your name
i know the shifting of your weight
the rhythm of your days
you left the light on while you dream in the night
i'm safe inside my room
the floor, the streetlight is the moon
you talk late on the phone
thin walls, together alone
drive-- i see you in your car
you're an extra and i'm the star
i'm just chorus in your play
what if we wrote a couple scenes in a new way?

i'm worried you're in love with me
but what keeps me up at night
is the worry that you're in love with the idea of me
why!
why did i kiss you?
and why did i let my body do
what it wanted to?
and then i heard on the news
heartache is airborn
heartache is airborn
and we don't need a case here too

Graveyard Shift

on the graveyard shift
middle of the night
i'm gonna catch the first rays of sunlight
on the graveyard shift
sing to pass the time
i know the morning's coming when the train comes down the line
on the graveyard shift
i'm not awake alone
most folks are sleeping while the jobs are getting done
on the graveyard shift
the workers say in rage
we drive your trucks, we clean your shops, we need a living wage!
on the graveyard shift

Bench

14 miles up a mountain
run these bodies down
hope that salt will cure the sleepless
you've got a red clay halo overhead
you went back to where it happened
touched the rock and sat the ledge
memories in your fingers
far away those ancient singers
mourning on the bench with you
nothing else to speak or do
called back east to the green ones
greenest ones you've ever known
break new ground to draw fresh water
he is nestled in your well
red clay feet in muddy season
your fingers remember and you try to be brave as hell
curl and flex
feel your fingers
so close by those ancient singers
mourning on the bench with you
nothing else to speak or do

Ballgame

everyone needs a home
and i found one of mine with you
swallows fly with the seasons and winds
i'm like them, so there's other homes i'm going to
hitched me a ride from the next town
it's bigger and they don't know me by name
i'm not sneaking out, there's no westbound midnight train
there's just no one else but you to explain anything to
take me out to the ballgame
it's something to do
big bright lights and a stadium of skin
waving my foam finger i want both teams to win
take me out to the ballgame
take me out to the crowd
buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks
i don't care if i ever come back
because it's root root root for the home team
if they don't win it's a shame
'cause it's one, two, three strikes you're out at the old ballgame

it's okay to sing a song for no one
it's okay to sing a song for everyone
what's the song about that lonesome state of mind?
i want to hear it one more time
it's okay to move and change your mind
magic trickles down your curving spine
and you move in ways so human and divine
i want to dance with you one more time

two days after her death
i put john's record on early
i could see my breath
grief in hands full
memorial, mourning
i could not cry though my face felt full
not know and never know and want to
in sick ways and human ways
and water weighs nothing
when we swim sunday summer
but water weighs too much
when a woman takes her own morning
tell me about her
sit shiva, ring around a stove
they searched the car she drove
for some god, for some spin
for some reason within
tell me about her
tell me about her strong intuition
tell me about her hand on your knee
in this room
and under the black sky, the new moon
tell me about her
two days after her death
i put john's record on and saw my breath
ice in my eyes
sun come to rise
morning

Weave Along, Cathy
03:22

weave along, cathy
keep keepin' on
take all the loose threads
and tie 'em tall
every string for one and one for all
easy times
i'd meet you half past nine
seems way back when
we'd stay up 'til god knows when
so our noses would run and run again
but nothing's sicker than being in a band with your friends with your friends with your friends
i never did anything like that in my life
swimming pool
i'll walk you home from school
we can play in time
figure out the yearning
speak in rhyme
chicago is burning
and we'd play in any room
shy and steady
stay steady on your loom in your room in your room in your room
i never did anything like that in my life
