I was on my way back
Musing about my muse
Shining like Los Angeles in ruins.
Oh, I sing my invocation
I sing in exultation
About the rapture in the singing of your blues.
I play a hollow instrument
Hollow like an epithet
That tries to sum a body in a word or two.
Still, I wanted to trim down and see
How little I could make of me
And how much I could be filled up with you.
And babe you were right
That the stars in the sky are just as dead
As they are bright.
And babe you stay true
To the cold calculations
That your heart will bid of you.
I travel through a land of doubt
I dream about your sugar mouth
I wonder about our footprints in the dune.
Yes and if there is a place for me
I find it in my wandering
And every restless, running afternoon.
And babe you were right
That the stars in the sky are just as dead
As they are bright.
And babe you stay true
To the cold calculations
That your heart will bid of you.
