Long Gone

here comes your lady
with her hands on her knees
she doesn't ask for much
but it's more than you can please
she's the type that might wait
but you gotta promise somethin before you leave
just come home
when you know that you belong
and i'll be here
but don't be gone too long
i can't wait alone
strike out into the unknown
taking every one you know with you
when you go
they tell ya everything's alright
when you think you've been lost
to the world
and then your heart remains silent
and sometimes you get swallowed whole
you might remain undigested
til every one you love gives up hope
and then ya come home
to the only place that you belong
and everything says stay
but you don't know how to get along
and your heart sings you a song
you can never belong
but you can never be gone long

eatin grass on the bluff
for a lark
you thrilled me with stories
of swimming with sharks
words didn't help me
find the truth in your heart
you laughed like you knew
how i was falling apart
i always fall so hard
end over end i tumble
from the start
you're a four leaf clover
growing on mountains off the beaten path
maybe i'll never find another
maybe i won't find my way back
sometimes to wish for more
negates what you have
sometimes it's given away
without hope to get it back
i always fall so hard
end over end i tumble
from the start
maybe baby
you knocked me out
and i haven't come to
maybe my luck had just run out
and i wanted to be like you
it's still been nice knowing you

young kids don't wanna stay at home
they need so much space
they can't keep their pants on
or stay in one place
you kids don't wanna be alone
they just wish they were out
on their own
young kids
just wanna play
i wanna be a young kid
today
young kids don't wanna go to work
young kids don't have their feelings hurt
fresh and new like the world hasn't turned
young kids are just flirts
young kids don't wanna be alone
they just wanna see the world
as far as they can roam
young kids
just wanna play
i wanna be a young kid
today
young kids don't wanna be told
young kids just wanna be
let go
young kids don't wanna sit still
they wanna feel the world
crash 'gainst their will
young kids
just wanna play
i wanna be a young kid
today
young kids
don't know about old
today is always better than
tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow...

when i wake up
i wanna see your face
when i go out
i want you in my space
i don't know anything
anything at all
fill me up
with everything you got
it could take all day
it could take all night
i've got the rest of my life
o baby say you'll stay in my arms for a while
baby say you'll take my heart for a ride
i'm your favorite shirt
upside down, inside out
in the dryer so warm
say you'll take me out
take me out
baby take me out
and i'll tie a string to your finger
and if you get strung out
i will reel you in
i've been over and over
i've been thru and thru
and given up on love
when i met you
i didn't believe it
but it grew and grew
silly how cliches always come true
is this it
is it you
what should i do?
i just want you by my side
baby say you'll stay
in my arms for a while
in my arms for a while

Goodbye, Joan

simmering august
we terminate in dust
with nothing to say
nothing we trust
we go our own way
giving in to dusk
september left us
not even lust
we disturb no wake
as we pass in the night
we cannot see
who lies behind the lights
i ran into your brother
balancing discomfort
in your shoes
i could only say
it's good to see you
we sail these boats
til the wind doesn't blow
and where we are
we may never know
we disturb no wake
as we pass in the night
we cannot see
who lies behind the lights
we hold no moor, mon amour
