Me By The Sea

 

I'm glad no one's here just me by the sea
I'm glad no one's here to mess it up for me
I'm glad no one's here just me by the sea
But man, I wish I had a hand to hold
I saw an orange starfish on the side of a rock
I poked on his back & tried to pull him off
A crab scared me away he ran close to my toes
And man, I wish I had a hand to hold
The moon is nowhere almost time for the sun
The voice of the waves sound anciently young
I'm a prisoner of freedom ten toes in the sand
And man, I wish I had a hand to hold
I'm in the habit of being alone
I try hard to break it I can't on my own
I'm glad no one's here just me by the sea
I'm glad no one's here to mess it up for me
I'm glad no one's here just me by the sea

Oak Cliff Bra

Sittin' on the front porch in Oak Cliff with my bra - watchin' some cars go by.

A lady with a baby with only one shoe walks by.

The baby on her shoulder has his mouth open more than his eyes.

Where's his other shoe?

A little bird is bathin' on the driveway in a puddle of old rain.

A station wagon honks and swerves and almost hits a squirrel.

The squirrel gets crazy eyed and zippers back and forth across the pavement.

Talk about close calls

this eye

One day you just get tired of crying

Runnin' can't escape the beating heart

One day you just get tired of dying

Living can't escape the beating march

But a higher bloom unveils

In a low down dirty day

And all that dreams entail

Come and take your suffering away

This eye looks with love

This eye looks with judgment

Free me take the sight out of this eye

One night the howlin' dog sings a lullaby

Drift you onto peaceful memories

One night the howlin' dog cries out lonely life

Break you like the light between the trees

And they say sacrifice

Is letting sweet love go

Never build a dam(n)

Wall to stop the flow

This eye looks with love

This eye looks with judgment

Free me take the sight out of this eye

All I can hope for is a light to see

When I search in the dark for my soul

And when my soul comes to rescue me

I rest my resistance fall piece by piece into peace

And slip like the water back into the sea

This eye looks with love

This eye looks with judgment

Free me take the sight out of this eye

Free me take the sight out of this eye
