Another Hour to Kill
Spent a day down by the ocean
Then we drove up in the hills
We found ourselves with another hour to kill
Lost my change down on the corner
Where I ordered us a beer
We’re drinking to the days still to appear
Have no questions, dear
Have no doubts
We can wander without fear
Of being found out
We’re just ordinary people
Trying not to be unkind
Between swallows of Calistoga wine
I shouldn’t interrupt here
But does this all make sense
The rhyme, the flow,
This place of innocence
Can I ask you again
Where you’re from?
In my mind, when I try
It’s all wrong
My love, my dear
Spent a day down by the ocean
Then we drove up in the hills
We found ourselves with another hour to kill
I Let You Go
I let you go
I hope it’s not for good
I’ll get you back I know I can
I know I should
Treated me well
Faced me at my worst
And never backed down
From winning my own game
What do I deserve?
How can I be sure that you’ll be fair?
I hope you know
That this sacred vow
Changes nothing and everything between us
I call you “brother of the many miles”
Rice paper reads
Our souls are knit as one
What do I deserve?
How can I be sure that you’ll be fair?
Unbound
On a flight from San Francisco to JFK
Drinking five dollar beers all the way
Thinking on what I left behind
Watching scenes drift through my mind
If I’m no longer found
Then pray for me as I’m unbound
We drove our car most of the day
We barely spoke the hours that we lay
On the hood under the moon
Daylight woke us up too soon
If we’re no longer found
May we wander unbound
Whether fighting through the crush of subways
Or getting lost in the Tamalpais haze
I have always had my doubts
To bring me back safe and sound
And then when I feel I’ve been found
I struggle free ’til I’m unbound
