lyrics

I denied the day / it never came my way
I never saw the light / milk and honey right
under her tongue / like Solomon’s bride

learn the blues from motel rooms / inside New York nights
my America is all but it my sights / my sights

have you heard the news / Katie had a child
it’s going on two / blinking eyes of blue / send her a song / call it I love you

and your mother went / beneath the knife
her heart don’t beat right / send her roses in the morning
for the rest of your life / your life

now I’m not here / the rocking chair / sits a shadow from the day
dreaming fast / for fields of grass / and one willow for shade

to lay me down / oh, to lay me down

meet me in Tucson / walk me in the sun
will you be the light? / it’s been dark all night
I’ll do nothing wrong / I’ll do nothing right

love a fool / and he’ll be true to you
for a while but when / the sun is done
the circus lights / run so wild / so wild

now I’m not here / the room is bare
everybody knows / a day is just
a fist of thorns / wishing for a rose
when I’m asleep / my shadow meets / the moon in the room I lay
Victoria is in the bath / if that is her name
I’m not here / that much is clear / I have gone away
dreaming fast for fields of grass / and one willow for shade
