She walks well
She knows her part
In a blue blouse and a paisley scarf
There goes my baby
She's such a beautiful sight
Beneath a blue sky
And a winter dawn
I go to work
And hum a song
There goes my baby
There goes a beautiful sight
There goes my baby
I'm going to see her tonight

Here To Stay

Jimmy climbs the steps and stands
A bunch of flowers in his hands
He doesn’t have to check his phone
He knows that lovely Sarah’s home
Out in the street all is well
He checks his breath and rings the bell
Sarah smooths her blouse and jeans
Opens up her box of dreams
Grabs a hairbrush, picks a song
The doorbell chimes and sings along
She throws the bolt and shows him in
“Hello Jimmy, how you been?”
You don’t need me to tell you that you’re beautiful
But I’m going to tell you anyway
If I give you my love, will you give your love to me?
‘Cause baby doll, my heart is here to stay
We don’t see much of Jimmy now
He’s making bread and settling down
Her friends say Sarah’s a rare sight
She’s real scarce come movie night
One plus one makes a pair
Over here and everywhere
1,2,3,4
I’ll keep coming back for more
Sundays come and Tuesdays go
But my love will always show
You don’t need me to tell you that you’re beautiful
But I’m going to tell you anyway
If I give you my love, will you give your love to me?
‘Cause baby doll, my heart is here to stay

Demolition Squad
06:32

This past year, I’ve felt I’m going nowhere in this town
And that this town is going nowhere, too
Some days after work, I go sit out on the porch
And look to the west, and think of you
What your new apartment looks like
Up above a shop
If you’ve made new friends
If you’ve found a lover
If you ever think about the time we shared a dream,
Shared neighbors,
And shared one another
And we couldn’t hold onto the time
Grasped at straws, and a lover’s last dime
And we thought that we’d build
But we broke
And the plans were flawed
We were the demolition squad
The wind whispers secrets to itself in the street
An afternoon without a living sound
The empty store windows gape out like broken teeth
In a face that can’t go another round
A house with its front door hanging on a hinge,
water pipes scavenged to hollow out a man
A siren wanders the woozy streets, chanting a prayer
for a neighborhood become a no man’s land
And you feel like an unfinished song
The right words, but the melody all wrong
And we thought that we’d build
But we broke
And the plans were flawed
We were the demolition squad
Did we miss a stitch
Did a line on the paper go astray
Did you see it coming
Before it took you away
I went over to the house the other day
The realty sign’s still on the lawn
I saw a bird feeder hanging on the porch
Adirondack chairs facing the dawn
A barbeque with all our friends over, holding beers
While kids find grass stains for their knees
The blank eyes of windows stare back at me
While the sun sets beneath the chestnut trees
The best-laid plans go astray
The best intentions lose their way
And we thought that we’d build
But we broke
And the plans were flawed
We were the demolition squad

Graduation Day
02:31

I wish what we had was enough
But the curtain stands in front
And I don’t think I’ll see you on the other side
Last night on the hill
You said you knew how it feels
To have hope and dread at the same time
You sit on the windowsill
Your beauty will last forever.
I walk through the door
And turn to face the truth
This isn’t my place anymore
Do you see yourself in a few years
With a mortgage on a house
And a beautiful spouse?
Go ahead, spin the wheel
Guess the letters of your fate
Like we did on Thursday afternoons
It’s Graduation Day
It’s Graduation Day

Pages Of Your Heart

Excuse me
Is this seat taken?
I’ll have the draft special
And a mirror to stare into
I guess you don’t want to hear
The misadventures
Of a moon chasing ragged begging dog
She was kind
And she was pretty
It just made the ending all the worse
This one’s on me
I’ll try to lend
An ear to listen
And a shoulder to cry on
I know just how it feels
To be let down
To be taken to the curb
Out with the trash
My love is like a half-knit sweater
With no shoulders to fill it
Can you hope to heal a broken heart?
Can you try to love again?
Can you look at someone
With the same eyes
You looked with once again
Once again
And now, I’ve found this time with you
(So, take a cue)
I’ll take a cue
And we will sink our numbered troubles one by one
And buy a tune
And dance the room
And realize I can’t give you anything but love
Love and pride
A piece of paper
In the pages of your heart you’ll find me
Can you hope to heal a broken heart?
Can you try to love again?
Can you look at someone
With the same eyes
You looked with once again
Once again

Love Dangerously
02:46

I don’t want to dance to this cheap song; I’m
Sick and tired of hearing it
Let me hear a snare swing, and
I’ll dance with you
I don’t want to hear this cheap sound
It yells nothing out loud
‘Round midnight I’ll know
What to say to you
I don’t want to love you safe
I want to bleed
I want to love you dangerously
I want to leap with you into endless blue
