Rainy Days

we are the rainy days
we are the salted earth
a holy roman come-what-may
void of mirth
we don't give holidays
we're stiff, starched, collared shirts
we will fashion mud from dirt
we will not seek catharsis
until the clouds subside
be still for what will befall us
has naught to do with spite
we are the rainy days
we are the salted earth
a holy roman come-what-may
void of mirth
we're clogged up sewer drains
we are a can of worms
we are leaden chips of paint

Love Me

love me like a brother
you can love me like a son
you can love me however you want
as long as it don't stop
i set out from new orleans
you better hope i didn't know
love me
came into my house one thursday morn
and i cried out "hello!"
you were in the bedroom door
and i was home
morning turned to afternoon
we were shivering beneath the sun
love me

Faber

if i was younger
i'd have the heart
to be smarter
and sweeter
to tell you
to leave i'm a jug of wine
for a long time
i was bitter
in pines i linger
by the church i wonder
how you fare
with virility
i'd make
a move i'm not a sad song
i'm only
a touch of one
in few i'd confide
how my heart strings rode
the bloody tide
i close my eyes
for now

Prodigal Son
03:32
|

though just the good son
not for naught the prodigal course
eat well and travel abroad
your wrongs will push you home to
the out-and-out of a father's love
this world is wilderness
it is easy to get lost
he seeks the blackguard sheep
for to sling over his shoulders
decisions we make
are not always
the healthiest ones
but maybe that,
that's what it takes
though just the good son
not for naught the prodigal course
eat well and travel abroad
your wrongs will push you home to
the out-and-out of a father's love
elder with silver coins
should she lose but one she still will
displace the furniture
until she's found her piece (or peace)
though just the good son
not for naught the prodigal course
eat well and travel abroad
your wrongs will push you home to
the out-and-out of a father's love

Health Insurance
02:22
|
|||
i can't help it if a cold comes on
i can't pay for what rises up
lay your treasures with mothballs
earthly trials will corrupt
take precaution in case of
sickness or injury
i can't plan for the life in the sky
nor the day when to dust my body shall return
lay your treasures with mothballs
earthly trials will corrupt
take precaution in case of
sickness or injury
sickness or injury

Our Days Are Numbered
03:51
|
|||
our days are
our days are numbered
our days are
our days are num--
i've seen the coming of a storm
high winds, high floodlines
i've been away for sometime
but now i'll be returning home soon
our days are
our days are numbered
our days are
our days are num--
how quick the candles melt down
how the moon wanes
word spreads across the state lines
rough tide across the empty black sea
