LYRICS
one was the benches
two was more calling
three was the space keeping me up til morning
four were the mushrooms taking over my garden
she said
i don’t want to know more if i can’t have you

promised five will be flowers (they’re the image of beauty)
i may be jaded but experience serves me
i was burning inside, i was ripe with expression
born the fruit of nature, the pit of creation

time has her way
of pulling you through
the phases of the seasons
without a solid reason to stay and see it through

somehow this feeling reminds me of painting,
itching to work on an image of something
but the colour i need is the only one missing!!
i can go downtown and get it tomorrow
then i remember on sunday’s the store’s always closed
and by the time monday rolls around I know
i'll be walking back home with the paint in my hand
and the feeling gone.

time has her way of pulling you through
the phases of the seasons
without a solid reason to stay and see it through

i miss the heavy shoulders of the tree

the clock reads 6
blurred visions of
church bells humming in the distance

unwelcomed taste on my lip
when you say something
you know it sticks

cat is baking at my feet
a little coffee in the morning
regaining focus out the window
i miss the heavy shoulders of the

trees and the lowered
gaze of the sun
bloated head of the river
falling into the screaming black of night
baby teeth and fingers floating in the water
