Hudson Bay Blues

how’d it come to this
paper cup I piss
toss it out in a fit
gotta get wit it
bang the drum
take another look look look
for the hook hook hook
let it BE a [song/tune] or a book
in a glossy mag she lookin’ good

I been thinkin too much
pilot said one to the next
too much much much
twenty-four time zones
in two hours girl
gonna go go go
never get old old old
trick the quick pick
roll the dice
dress real nice
drop the one two three
gimme four on the floor
and an open door
to your house and heart
why my Love don’t make it thru
[give/bring] a puppy to you
[melt with tears]
[the hardened-steel years]
[authentic tears melt right through]
count the spots in the mall parking lot
one by one
give em names
[asphalt/blacktop] fun
in the autumn sun
north of new england
I can hear em singin
the hudson bay blues
oh henry - what’s become of you
did you make it thru
find you an authentic Life
with an organic wife
feathers and tears
scented oak smoke and waves
stopped counting days
learned to remain in the grace of this space
the sun moon and stars
lemme Live by thee...//
