SHE'S SAVING ME

We were sitting 'round a dying fire, somebody lit incense somebody lit a cigarette and passed the bottle around It was just strawberry season, backbreaking pickers in the patches everything's burning down to ashes and down to the ground She's saving me I don't even think she knows it It's a strange way to show it as distant as last night's dream unravels She's saving me I'm a very lost soul I was born with a hole in my heart The size of my landlocked travels I try to put it aside but it's too much bigger than me there's a big brown hawk in the tree Lighting and leaving There's tea leaves tossing, heads up pennies in my pocket, dead star like a rocket, the arc of my grieving She's saving me I don't even think she knows it It's a strange way to show it as distant as last night's dream unravels She's saving me I'm a very lost soul I was born with a hole in my heart The size of my landlocked travels The sky pours out biblical rain Then days so still the beauty gives you pain The heatwave kills the green and she remains unseen But colors up my dreams with all things blooming This is not all there is it's not a kingdom it's not an angry god It feels like her It feels like no fear, it feels like no doubt, it feels like inside out The ashes stir She's a saving me I don't really think she knows it It's a strange way to show it as distant as last night's dream unravels She's saving me I'm a very lost soul I was born with a hole in my heart as wide as my landlocked travels
