1
Close the door on a short night
2
Lift the lid on the daylight
3
6:09 West Tennessee time
4
And I buy all my days
5
At the same place where the girl sells her nights
6
To a God of ocean tides.
7
All night long,
8
Writing poems to California
9
Melodies of failure
10
And the people I have thrown away
11
Meanwhile, somewhere west of Carolina
12
In a congregation of strangers
13
We are digging holes to China
14
Then we pray to our reflections
15
In the water when it rises.
16
I said headlights pin the highway down
17
Jesus spins the world around
18
And I'll spend all my tomorrows coming down
19
Goodbye all my days.
20
I know I said I never loved you
21
But I might just try again tonight.
22
Truck stops and river Gods
23
Gas stations of the Cross
24
Following a ghost,
25
Following a ghost,
26
I pray the water wash away
27
The memories and the cost.
28
Cary me south, to the sea
29
Along with your memories of me
30
We are born in the water
31
Now we return to Thee.
32
Colored lights
33
And birthday cakes
34
Candle wax
35
On paper plates.
36
Breathe the water
37
Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye.
38
You can see through water
39
All the way up to the sky.
40
Gods of water, Gods of rain
41
Cover up the sun again
42
We are crossing it at the Mississippi line
43
And I tried all my days
44
To love you just the way you hoped I might,
45
But I'm leaving here tonight.
46
I can't remember yesterday
47
I tried, if I said I could I lied.
