lyrics

This haunted place I keep a room
A pied-e-terre, a pharaoh’s tomb
The cantos of my New York Years
Are scribed in ink that disappears
The autumn leaves that store the glow
of summer, then invite the snow

It’s five o’clock, the sky is dark,
The blinds are drawn, the dogs all bark
The bending pitch of siren choir
That cries to find a crime or fire

The seeds of hope I throw across
The sea are kissed before they’re tossed
Into the world like random prayers to gods
Who don’t exist or care

But some find soil, and grow, and bloom
In fields I find when I’ve consumed too many beers
Gotten lost, I speak your name when they are tossed

My My, My dear you’ve showered the trash
For flowers and sparks that hide in ash
And walked them through the city walls
Past parking lots, graveyards and malls

Where rows of dirt are stacked with stones
Like skulls the bind the catacombs
Arranged into a shelter’s shape
To lay low when we’ve escaped
Like Procerpina’s gift of rain
Wringing the Styx out of her mane
