Put your paw upon my knee
Like a feather in the storm
Touch my chest and we'll be free
Together here and warm
And let your tongue stick out my girl
Let your hair run all loose
The time left is to live my pearl
Not be aggressive like the goose
And in thundery and lightening days
In the back of a caboose
In a laundromat or other ways
It'll always be with you
For though I am no homeless man
I am often poor inside
Though your head upon my chest my dear
Brings riches too my mind
And though we miss him deep my girl
His call remains so warm
And in slumber he shall reappear
For one last final walk

Lady of June

June she rains
On the tarmac rotten
On the cups forgotten
On the English stage
And it's there she claims
There is a bottom
Of life that often
Gets out of hand
One day I got
A conductors letter
She said do better
In the July rains
And what I took
Was a book that had her
Had a broken letter
From the April days
And I ain't got it now I said
And she groaned just like the ground
Because I'm a fool for this life we said
And our souls tumbled on down
And the coffee still
Is stale and has gotten
Old and is often
Spilt on out
By boots ungolden
Unclean and modern
Unclean and trodden
Pulling us out
And I ain't got it now I said
And out my window she dropped her mouth
And her tears fell from the seventh floor
And her golden hair came out

Shine on Tuesday
Bathe on Wednesday
Cry on Friday
Waltz on Robin Grove Way
The girl shouts my life is not a fairy tale
And the wolf howls back how you bitten your own tail
And the girl she replies, with watery sodden eyes
So it's my fate to walk this mile
Shine on Tuesday
Bathe on Wednesday
Cry on Friday
Waltz on Robin Grove Way
And brother marches the severn streets, there floodlight, there lit
And he's screaming to his crew of four that he's gone into a pit
And collapsing on the asphalt ground with pains in synthetic nit
Brother bear goes rolling in the grit
Shine on Tuesday
Bathe on Wednesday
Cry on Friday
Waltz on Robin Grove Way
So the brother and the girl, the wolf and a fan
Well they meet to discuss on the day of the plan
And the brother and the girl, well they claim to know it well
But the wolf cries not until no sound
Shine on Tuesday
Bathe on Wednesday
Cry on Friday
Waltz on Robin Grove Way

Eulogy
01:45

We have all never sinned
I grapple with my suit and hold my vest
I feel the wind in my hair and the grass of the brush
My suit sways and my mind gushes
Brown orange rust
It maps your faces and matches the world
As your mouth speaks continents
And your ears hold wisdom
And your hands
And there art
For your soul never cracked
Never perished
And only loved
And it's here, as I watch the clouds flow by
In a city we have shared young adulthood
That my tears on this page split and spurl
And fit and hurl
I remember looking deep into your eyes
Into everything there was and now isn't
Into everything that you gave and every breathe you breathed
And in it I see a puzzle
For in a world rawer but more beautiful
You are now one with it
And thought your shelter doesn't remain
Your love and soul does
In minds across the world
And deep, deep in the minds of the ones you touched
I love you Travel Man, forever and always

Birds
04:04

Storm clouds cry a tear drop as the flags wave through the sky
I'm sat here asking for the birds to tell me why
And quiet and lonesome from that hit and run inside
Quiet and lonesome has it my eye
Cause every single minute of this day that goes by
Every single lesson has you both by my side
And I remember and I realize that he gave you life
And your crying and pain comes from somewhere deep inside
And if you could have him back today
You'd hold him close and brand it all away
And you'd burn, and you'd learn, and you'd turn
So I know your energy's just dropping away
But the birds have told me you are of the strongest clay
And your mind and your ears will show you the way
And all the love around will help you day by day
