come on daisy, let's take a ride in your car
fill up the tank and go some place real far
don't pack your shit, be sure to let it all go
come on daisy, you gotta let me know
if it's all right
well, i gotta go real soon but
i'm gonna tell the truth, there is
nothing that i keep from you
do you think of me like i think of you?
come on daisy, the world sure got you down
but a pretty face is still pretty with a frown
just keep your eyes focused on what is kind
and let good true love bring you peace of mind
is that all right?

cast your sunstained glow across my shoulder
a kiss from a stranger
i'll understand when i'm older
a match struck from within
a gamble i won't win
stuck in this life i'm in
worn away i grow thin
back straight lift up my chin
my god where have you been?
my girl where have you been?
o lord where have i been?

keep it down, all together now
keep it down, all together now
wear your name on your collar now
keep it down, all together now
speak the truth, you're not a liar now
tell the truth, don't be a liar now
tell the truth, don't be a liar now
where'd you go, are you listening?
where'd you go? are you listening?
do you enjoy to watch me suffer as i question it?
where'd you go? are you listening?
take me home, i am tired now.
take me home, for i am tired now
my eyes are heavy as i watch the house fall to the ground
take me home, i am tired now

how everything has led us here
it all grows clearer
as we get nearer
suddenly awake the growing green
i took a faithful leap
the winter’s soon asleep
little leaves are poking through
the fabric of place, of time and space
you can see me, though i’m far away
even if it doesn’t stay
the way this feels is what it is
you can believe me when i say
it’s like the way it felt when i would pray

oh how my water ebbs and flows
and where it leads to, no one knows
you’ll find me in the flower bed
if i be weed or i be rose
questions line the insides of my mind
stuck like light spots behind both bloodshot eyelids
oh the three terrains of life,
bird seed, thorn choked, then the garden
sheltered in the maltese shade,
shadows that the limestone made
only made it warmer
how we longed for verdant green
as though our eyes had never seen
what grew beneath the mattress
when life was like a riverbed, the silt, and
fish that swam above it
when i had never tasted greed,
the dandelion, the little weed making wishes.
oh how my water ebbs and flows
and where it leads to, no one knows
you’ll find me in the flowerbed
if i be weed or i be rose

on and on and on and on
and on and on we go
every day we wake and we are
further along than before
low and slow, and down we go
below, below, below, below
how can i move on?
why not just move in?
they say that she is gone,
but has she ever been?
i feel a kind of clarity
in being all alone
now that i know the hope is gone
i know i’ll never know
