when I met you,
flowers started growing
in the darkest parts of my mind

Clear off the bed

and come lie next to me

or lie with me

or crawl under these sheets

and die with me

or without

I'm used to it

but I could get used to this

Clear out your mind

and sink down low with me

or get high with me

or hold my hand

and lose some time with me

or without

I'm used to it

but I could get used to this

Clean up your act

and fall apart with me

or fall, apart from me

or fall, a part of me

and take some time to cry with me

or without

I'm used to it

but I could get used to this

Clean out your car

and run away with me

or run to me

or put it in reverse

and go back to the start with me

or without

I'm used to it

but I could get used to this

Cleanse your spirit

and embrace this pain with me

or brace for pain with me

or take a moment to put me back together

and just be with me, with me

or without

I'm used to it

but I could still get used to this

Theodore Roethke: “The Waking”

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes. 

Neko Case

Cold, late night so long ago 
When I was not so strong you know 
A pretty man came to me 
I never seen eyes so blue 
You know, I could not run away it seemed 
We'd seen each other in a dream 
Seemed like he knew me....he looked right through me....yeah 

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile 
"you don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile 
But try to understand...try to understand 
Try, try, try to understand.....He's a magic man" 

Winter nights we sang in tune 
Played inside the months of moon 
"Never think of never..let this spell last forever" 
Well, summer lover passed to fall 
Tried to realize it all 
Mama says she's worried..growing up in a hurry 

"Come on home, girl" Mama cried on the phone 
"Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home" 
But try to understand....try to understand 
Try, try, try to understand..he's a magic man, Mama...ah...he's a magic man 

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile 
"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child" 
But try to understand...try to understand.. 
Oh...oh....try, try, try to understand.... 
He's a magic man....oh....he's got the magic hands 

We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends
