ode to cactus tree

i'll go away
but can i stay
right here with you
for a while
the cactus tree
miss joni sings of
i feel it in
my autumn bones
what does it mean to be free
in the winter, when you want
someone to hold you
for a while
a freedom that
is not aimless has
the warmth of the sun
on my palms
what does it mean to be free
in the winter, when you want
someone to hold you
for a while
what does it mean to be free
in the winter, when you want
somewhere to hold you
for a while

through sometimes

I’m teary eyed
on commercial street
your neighbors paint
their front porch green
the river smiles
her mouth open wide
n the clouds all clear
the sun she shines
the only way out is through sometimes
the only way out is
ill learn the things
to pass the time
that i meant to know
that slipped me by
ill braid my hair
ill make the rice
ill do my best
oh how i try
the only way out is through sometimes
the only way out is

"humor the notion,"
prophetic dreams,
snow pilin up on my passenger seat
where you sat,
left a crack in the window
to slip through, I woke
to the thought
of it all
mid-march-miraculous
midnight “one more time”s
absentmind-drivin
straight thru that red light
go means green means naive
go means green means naive
(wonder what Longview smells like today
a love and alive and a hope and away)
in moderation anything’s okay
makes my stomach hurt
but I love the taste

don’t talk to me like that, babe, or I’ll go so far away from here
don’t look at me like that, babe, I won’t wait around to hear
you say you’re sorry

you say:
I’m just as full of shit as anybody else
i tie my heartstrings one by one
n I’m afraid to ask for help sometimes
I’m just as full of love as any other heart
i put my boots on one by one
but i still don’t know where to start sometimes,
mmm-hmm
I’m just as full of shit as anybody else
i put my drinks down one by one
n ill be damned to ask for help sometimes
I’m just as full of love as any other heart
i’ll tear these walls down one by one
but i just don’t know where to start sometimes,
mmm-hmm

I’m tired when I asleep,
I’m tired when I awake,
the time that we are given
is all the time it takes
I’m glad to be away,
all Tender and Alone,
the time that we have taken
is ours each on our own
but I can’t put my finger on it
I’m tired when awake,
scared of my own dreams,
can’t hold on to the future
(when you) can’t see past this week
so hold tight to your lovers
they’ll teach us how to talk
to make time for each other
to relearn how to walk
when I can’t put my finger on it
