i've never known more this desire to feel more plentiful on earth than the grass around our heels i want the New York of O'Hara to be but I am only coupled in pleasure and in pain the company's warm as the room where we sleep i'm building up a stupor and leaning on a post. everyone here seems to have what they need in fact it's only doubled, their pleasure and their pain the pictures of her were beautiful, i felt like i understood when the rain comes it's gonna swallow my mind now love is a decision i'm making over and over, when the rain comes it's gonna splinter the light when that rain comes it's gonna swallow my mind when that rain comes it's gonna splinter the light

Silent Days 04:41
when i close my eyes every night when I come home to you - I want to laugh at you I want to laugh at me, too when I close my eyes I am spread on a black plot of land am I no longer myself, was I ever but good on command? I want to laugh at you, I want to laugh at me, too before the boulder takes your place I try to woo my heart once more, saying that even in my silent days I am sorry I'm more distant than before I want to laugh at you I want to laugh at me, too

Jesus Said 04:45
you are the right one, jesus said, you'll have arbors on high see you are close like kin to me and all love is god's light i am full of love, i am full of love, just take it - i am full of grace, i am full of grace, let's make it - absolutes are living full in the bodies of nectarines closer than a whoop of coughs you've been sprayed with t.v. i am full of love, i am full of love, just take it - i am full of grace, i am full of grace, let's make it - i see a man, how he falls apart like a man but oh what a sweet soul! you are always atomizing, christening ships with champagne or crying 'o the alley' in the alley on an armchair in the rain belief over you moved like some storm's eye and pulsed on you saw the lacquered jesus with a shiny coat and felt gone i am full of love, i am full of love, just take it- i am full of grace, i am full of grace, let's make it - you see a man, how he falls apart like a man but oh what a sweet soul! come on, it will all come, it will all come, god-damn private laughter, phases of sacrifice, temporal dreams of man

Wilkes-Barre 03:14
i went down to Wilkes-Barre to see the mines, see the mines gone cold and watch the old guys leisuring on those god, god-forsaken roads where the wincing afternoon was hands, hands just passing coal and the front porch of the house held men, men been dropped of souls i'll bring the man to meet you, honey all that we got i'll give to you whole he'll be beside me when i go if that ain't love then what the hell do i know ? i have prepared the will toward sky as some to earth, some to earth do but that don't mean i've lost my might i still feel the soil of lying close to you i'll bring the man to meet you, honey all that we got i'll give to you whole he'll be beside me when i go if that ain't love then what the hell do i know ? i'm saying thank you all the time and i feel the pull far beyond my mind
5.
ah, with the eye i can see looming rows, maize under stuff of the moon where darkness grows i wonder after you how i need to save your place your touch landing somewhere new but i'd be damned not to forgive you wouldn't it be lonely without you on my mind i'd miss you sometimes when nothing felt new, i'd get to worrying as the night closes up all tight like a match that's burned to its end oh, my lord man, i could budge if you'd only come shadowing home in the easy dawn i got a feeling, i need you to give me sincere maybe give it long and short of words don't let it go on wouldn't it be lonely without you on my mind i'd miss you sometimes when nothing felt new, i'd get to worrying as the night closes up all tight like a match that's burned to its end it's a wonder man can make his mind to forget without burning through that how can he love after skin and the way it goes so slow through change
6.
on an open road i had made my mind to be free as we traveled it all for you the way wildness is sweet not the way of my trembling unmade simple soul, it is rising and whole i believe in you - and you should know how rare it is to believe in anyone or anything how many times had i made you in my mind? you are good as gold gathered up and spread amongst sand now i am crossed, in hip swings i was slain, a simple soul, rising and whole i believe in you - and you should know how rare it is to believe in anyone or anything

Burn My Soul 03:08
quick-witted son of my heart would you burn my soul? would you burn my soul? would you burn my soul? when that light comes down well it shine so low painted yellow on our feet in the awful glow would you burn my soul? would you burn my soul? would you burn my, burn my soul? oh, the feast of my eyes love so slow - with the magnifying make of men on their knees
