Remain the Same
I drive, I don’t know where I’m driving
I am, I don’t know what it is to be
You could just find me floating sometimes
Down rivers of tears
I’m sorry
The years leave me different
If only you
Remain the same

Ghost Town By the Sea
By the sea by the sea
In a Point Judith diary I
Found many rocks all pretty colors
I found waves that split the sound
Of a silent summer’s day
And oh the smell it is so clean
And all of this so constantly old, old, old
The firewood for the fire
Has drifted from the sea
Names and colors decorate the flames
??? up in smoke
Some sailing vessel’s history
Rowing boats are out there now
Fishing for their game
Rocking in the water contemplatively
Shiny little houses
Faded by the sea
Are watching through their windows
In this ghost town by the sea
This ghost town by the sea

Chilocothe
Been eating too much
Oh baby, something’s wrong
Been nervous enough
Been thinking out loud
Baby why is there a crowd
Stick it over again
Oh why are we here
It’s not that clear
But now it’s all worth it
Now that it’s your birthday
Chilocothe feeds me bread
It’s the only way to get ahead
Come back again I beg you please

Janky
Sure is clanky that hobnail Janky
Cleaning my boots in the pebbles and the sun
Along come Janky he sure is clanky
That Janky is clanky all the time
Clanky Janky, clanky Janky
Butter me up some bread right now
Don’t wanna be clanky but here comes Janky
Janky is clanky I’ll have you know
That Janky is clanky all the time
Clanky Janky
Clanky Janky

Phillip Was Mentioned
Phillip was mentioned
In a corner where I was
Phillip was mentioned
Oh don’t you sit on glass
It breaks into an aquarium
Bernie’s in the middle of chocolate and baseball love
Middle earth and houses rare
Spanish skyline in the air
You’ve been there before it’s true
Heavenly and sacred ???
You can’t play out here too long
There was a shot sent everybody running
Another made them stop a while
They’re killing him without a trial

Fishing Blues
Sometimes I wonder if I’ve even got a song
But you can always sing the fishing blues
And all that time there ain’t no news
Just see how long that you can’t wait
When you don’t have no living bait
You’re washed ashore the sun is hot
Row back again to another spot
Throw your dead bait again
Ain’t caught no fish since don’t know when
Oh my God I got those fishing blues
Oh this ain’t no pleasure cruise
Row back again to sit and wait
And on the hook is my death bait

Going Away
Oh jeez
You got me hollering please
Where does it all come from anyway
Do I really want this to stay
It must have been right
I’m a fool
Are you gonna be here when I die
Does it make a difference
If I lie
And ??? is just something that
You gotta do
Is something that you do and (?)
Is this really gonna stay
I can feel it going away

Helena
I see it says Pitchstone Plateau
Before I had a chance to shut the door
Helena you held no lies
Stolen from my youthful eyes
Captured in your fleeting past
Time is lost and I’m gassed
Air is thin you’re very light
I saw young girls there
In your arms and in a dream
And when I woke I heard you scream
You said: “Where’s this? What kind of place
Is dying in the human race?”
I fell down on the sidewalk then
Got up to drive away again

Be Going Down
He’ll be going down
After that one piece
Over there

Nothing You Lack
Best that you forget me
Cause I talk too much
And all the like of such
All the time
Got a merciful mind
Is a streaking giraffe
Costing four cents a pound
If you lay on the ground
A monkey jumps on your back
Hey, there’s nothing you lack
Except a big red sack
To put your head in
And leave it there
For centuries to spit on
They scream from the mountains
I can’t hear your ear
There’s all in the way
Those movies are ugly

For You and I
I know I don’t have much to say
Mmmmmm I don’t have much to show
But I’m waiting
I’m waiting
I don’t have much to show
But I know, I know you
You’re waiting too
Oh I’m waiting, I am waiting
And I know there’s an answer
That is waiting
For you and I when we die
Oh I know there’s an answer
That is waiting
Waiting for you and I when we die

Lake Lagoon
Shirley ran with the big fat man
All over town with a nervous frown
If you behave then you can save
A license for your liquor store
Shoot a hen, run down again
To the marsh you saw in a field of straw
That’s Lake Lagoon in the evening time
Just before the sun goes down
Betcha moon won’t catch you tonight
Betcha got you running all right (should it be all right?)
Let the redwoods keep you awake
Shining in the lake for sake
Out in a boat on Lake Lagoon
There isn’t no time not even in June

Closing
There’s a secret in your hair
And it’s wishing to be where
And so it seems
I’ll have my dreams to give you
And now I think I’ll close my eyes
To be the one you sleep with
And I’m not there
I’m in the air
You will wait for me
You’ll be the one til winter’s come
And we freeze in the snow
Blood runs warm and it runs cold
History is remarkable
And I’ll say what I have said
It’s nothing as you know

Going Away My Darling
I’m going away my darling
I’ll send you my address
A black cat crossed my path
And I’m nervous at the sound
Sun will greet me in the morning
Wind will meet me in the cold
Cause I’m going away my darling
Can’t take you along with me
Be myself in the country
I’ll come back as best I can
And if I make (?) the man I’m thinking
You’ll be the guest at his parade
Catch a leaf that blooms in April
Step out of the winter snow
And if by then you still love me
The country air is fresh and clean
And by the time it’s time to ride
Into the city for the stage
I’ll ride on in to bring life
That I been living all this time
For those to see
Who have not heard about the love
You gave to me
About the love I wrote about
Inside myself in a quiet time
And if by then you come and tell me
That you must find a truer love
For yourself and that’s for certain
A truer love I hope you find
I took the light shines from your forehead
I took the darkness of your breast
I give them to the lonely world
I give to you
You gave to me
