Snap! (The End)

In July, we relied
On candy from the vine
But this old homes all overgrown
And your telling me it's time
For up north, or out east
The west was won by thieves
So who can I really believe
There's apple trees and sugar snap peas
And lazy afternoons
And bittersweet hope that they won't end too soon
Old friends walk by
I turn away and hide
Cuz I can't explain why I came
To where I am right now
Some beach front dive
The edge of a dull knife
Chippin away at what I say when you ask
How are thing?
There's apple trees and sugar snap peas
And lazy afternoons
And bittersweet hope that they won't end too soon
With all the nervous energy
Electrical storms of old memories
Well I know it's time
But your here, right now
Will you stick around
You're sittin across but your words are all lost
In the shiny cafe sounds

She lives up on Adrian Way
An old trailer in the maple trees
Working hard as a heartbeat
That pumps a lazy river to the sea
Won't she get some rest
I won't pretend that she is some angel
I won't pretend I'm a fool to be saved
When I'm lost, she gives bad directions
Like a drunk on the street, eyes crossed
And boots unlaced
But on Adrian Way
You spend each day
Like a dime, for all the stars
She hangs her vest on a cactus she stole from Orchards
And every other pictures upside down
The broken sun spills on some
Of the smoke that tip toes around
And there's old times in the feeling of her touch
Like cracks in the evening road way back home
There's warmth in the patchwork of her laughter
And a cool breath in a soft hum all her own
And on Adrian Way
I know she'll say
All the things I need to hear
Yeah on Adrian Way
You spend each day
Like a dime, for all the stars
And I wish I could stay
I wish I could keep
The feeling of her by my side

The rockinmashoe won't go away
The rockinmashoe won't go away
The rockinmashoe won't go away
I tried to walk down to the store I used to run
Behind the counter watchin' the paint peel in the sun
Now it's all peeled off
And the rockinmashoe won't go away
The rockinmashoe won't go away
The rockinmashoe won't go away
Green's in the alley, diggin' his own grave
He finished last week but the streets all got repaved
There's no more potholes
And the rockinmashoe
The rockinmashoe won't go away
The rockinmashoe won't go away
Stan has a few bucks left from the cash pop left behind
He could try to win it back but that didn't work last time
A beer instead
And the rockinmashoe won't go away
The rockinmashoe won't go away
The rockinmashoe won't go away

Dontcha get Joey goin
She's an old friend of mine
Sweet as can be
Like Japanese plum wine
The kind that leaves you clutchin your head
I wish I still lived here
Cold beer with old friends
Grass in the dunes
Ship ruins in the wind
Across the open space
The way the cold air tastes
And no one could tell
When you fell from
Such a distant height
Joey'd come by
And we would just sigh and then we'd
All go out for the night
The suns almost down
This towns one front porch
You sit there all night
Watch it all rock back and forth
Little faces in the fireplace
Sparks through the haze
And no one could tell
When you fell from
Such a distant height
Joey'd come by
And we would just sigh and then we'd
All go out for the night
Dancing round the kitchen
Within it wasn't 3
O clock in the morning
The door closed with a creak
I fell down on the couch
'Til 8 am and then ouch
And no one could tell
When you fell from
Such a distant height
Joey'd come by
And we would just sigh and then we'd
All go out for the night

It's 11:11
And I wanna know just when
I can see old friends again
And world peace too
It's a shooting star
It could be life on Mars
Would they meet me down at the bar
for a game of pool
It's the strangest thing
I want the best for them
And I borrowed this tune
From my Pa' it's true
But he stole the barstool
From baby blue
And this here soul
Ain't the original
I'm just my mother's son
In my neighbors language
It's the strangest thing
I want the best for them
And now it's 2020
And man we've got plenty
But we don't have it under control
And now it's 2021
The years used to roll right off my tongue
But now it's such a mouthful

I'll walk you home in the mornin' mist
Walk you home in the mornin' mist
But you aint got
No home to go to, we'll just keep walkin
I met a girl, she had silver hair
Her hazel eyes flickered to stare
She blew on down the mountain side
Shining like a breath of silver air
I sing to hear and I draw to see
The records loud but the cards are weak
So lay them down and pour that wine
And I might get you next time
And I'll walk you home in the mornin' mist
Walk you home in the mornin' mist
But you aint got
No home to go to, we'll just keep walkin
She never had too much to say
She didn't need the words you waste
A little laugh and a long sigh
She'd tell it just like it is
She said I'll walk you home in the morning' mist
Walk you home in the mornin' mist
But you aint got
No home to go to, we'll just keep walkin

Golden Egg

On the eve of the morning after
Something happened
I woke up from a deep one
And Spring had sprung a leak
Spilled out purple pedal lace
A smile blossomed cross your face
As you whispered something about me being real
Thanks god your rooms a mess
I won't hesitate
To show you mine next time its late
And you need someplace to take you
To tomorrow
The hens laid golden eggs
The kitchens full of all our friends
And they're kicking' round ideas of what happened
But oh no
I think I gotta go
And everything was just looking up
I'm a simple fool
I like to lay my body flat
Gimme a pillow and a pad
And I'l ride into the morning
I hope you got some rest
We can sit in the driveway
And I can hear what you can say
And you can say it loud as you want to
And oh yes
I think it's gonna get
A whole lot better
A whole lot better
A whole lot better

Firefly
Thoughts light a late night dream
And really high
Singin' crickets add the sound to scene
And the front porch is crowded with smokers all silent
And I don't know a single name
But right over there in a big rocking chair
Lookin' down for some reason you came
Firefly
Thoughts buzz around my head
In a dark sky
Or just a closed eyelid
And the people are gone, and the light of the sun
Is peaking through the holes to the day
And it's just me and you
And we're 72, and we're rockin' our last years away
