Socrates

I wish I could turn away
From Saturdays spent with you
That Sunday afternoons
Weren't made sweeter by your voice
No, I never had a choice
There is a me
A me beyond my senses
Just sitting on my sight
A little laughing Buddha
A little Krishna, a little light
And they sang
They sang your name
Leaving me
No decision to be made
They sang
Come on girl, get close to me
Tell me are you real or just a dream
It's like the suicide of Socrates
Truth is always closer than it seems
But oh, you're older now
And so divine
Now you're crooked
To take place in the light
Molded by accidents
through experience
With your arms out wide
And how those around you have gone
To the weight of the snow
And the winds on cold nights
And you like a river
An ever-changing story in my head
I see it now so clearly
You put back on your shirt
And left the bed
So this poem's for the rooftops
Alone but for the stars
Above their heads
That sang
Come on girl, get close to me
Tell me are you real or just a dream
It's like the suicide of Socrates
Truth is always closer than it seems
Come on girl, get close to me
Tell me are you real or just a dream
It's like the suicide of Socrates
Truth is always closer than it seems
I wish I could turn away
From Saturdays spent with you

If I Go (When I Do)

Put a picture by my bedside
Could never take her down
A better you, I'm wishing
She had stuck around
A candle flame, a stain on
The carpet, now unmade
A sorry me remembering
It used to go that way
I can't think, I'm on the same day
That you went and did me wrong
Got me good and got me long, oh
I can't think, I'm on the same wave
That you kicked me off so blue
Got me begging darling, you
Let me know
If I go
And when I do
Tried to tell you I'd be okay
And then I put us down
Thinking I would one day
Try to come around
A broken heart, a pillowcase
Smeared lipstick on the sheet
I never thought that sorry day
Would leave me begging please
I can't think, I'm on the same day
That you went and did me wrong
Got me good and got me long, oh
I can't think, I'm on the same wave
That you kicked me off so blue
Got me begging darling, you
Let me know
If I go
And when I do
I can't think, I'm on the same day
That you went and did me wrong
Got me good and got me long, oh
I can't think, I'm on the same wave
That you kicked me off so blue
Got me begging darling, you
Let me know
If I go
And when I do

Just To Call You Mine

You could be saving time
If you took what's mine
Let it settle
Let it harden
Let it break
You could be throwing me
Out with everything
That you're throwing out
But somehow I got you to say
Don't you worry, darlin'
Well I'm right there, too
Spending my time so far away
I'm missing you
Don't you tell me nothin'
'Less you're saying hi
I'd never dream,
I couldn't dream of leaving you behind
It might be hard, but it's so lovely
Just to call you mine
I could be storming out
Yelling something loud
But you got me so far out of my mind
You always look so dear
And having you right here
Oh, I know
There's nothing I could do this time
Don't you worry, darlin'
Well I'm right there, too
Spending my time so far away
I'm missing you
Don't you tell me nothin'
'Less you're saying hi
I'd never dream,
I couldn't dream of leaving you behind
It might be hard, but it's so lovely
Just to call you mine
