cypress
walking through the cypress you were by my side
hand in sweaty hand, sticky from the sap
i can't help but suspect you are i were supposed to be here tonight
six days in the summer, tasting the rest of our lives
i made up my mind: i'm pulling us both uphill
if you fall behind, i'll go even slower still
mark the days with sunrise, mark the nights with hercules stars
hold your arms to the black sky. i'll hold you until you're gone

go to hell
to everyone who brought you down on your twelfth birthday
to everyone who said your dreams would carry you away
to all of those who reminded you how much stood in the way:
go to hell
you did not believe in me, you said "gold will always melt"
you never reached for anything for fear that you would fail
but your dark home is not my home and you never set sail
go to hell
no one saw a miracle and no water to wine
all that works is hope and muscle and putting in the time
i am not a pessimist, but i look in your eyes
and see the things you never saw, now you're crying all the time
go to hell

people
i don't know what happened here; it's the scene of the crime
i don't know what happened when you left us last night
there were drinks and fistfights there; we kept to ourselves
i envisioned you and your car in a ball of flames
there are people in this world i can't get out of my mind
there are ways to live and ways to die
there are people in this world i can't get out of my mind
there are people who need a little more time
every time you roll your eyes, he gets weak in the knees
he's a hopeless case when you feel pretty and free
when you start to notice he's got a gentleman's face
he seemed so different then, but he's just the same
marigolds and older folks sleep sleep sleep
i will go until i can't go and i'll do it again
have a conversation here and forget the next day
have that conversation again and get carried away
there are people in this world i can't get out of my mind
there are ways to live and ways to die

i lost a friend to california: a desperate place to go
but it's easy to submit to love like california
i sympathize with california; it has seduced me once before
but not quite so bad as it got my friend that year
you're underpaid in california; you deserve much more than this
i deserve the friend i lost to lust that way
and even though you're still not with us; even though you're far away
i go through it every day like california

concrete
gather along the fields that are dry now
i know that you were once what i decided
setting out to feed on the bald and wicked
that is all you're loving
momma, my front porch is sinking
do you have an ex-husband who can help me pour the concrete in?
once upon a time you hit the candy
a ways up on the mountain you had left me
set it out from here; that will set you on me
that is all about me
momma, my front porch is sinking
do you have an ex-husband who can help me pour the concrete in?

all at once
all at once when i met you; all at once when you died
all at once when the rain fell and she took me inside
every little thing you said was a lie
and every day without you home is a mountain i climb alone
all i want is a nickel, but all you want is a dime
all i want is to touch your hands while we're still alive
but every little thing you said was a lie
and every day without you home is a mountain i climb alone

take my hand
oh, i was lost; i was just a flimsy man
forever i was tossed right into the storm
darling there's a plan, whatever we will make of it
when you take my hand i need nothing more
when i'm going on in nobody's direction
when i'm stumbling in because i ran so long
when i'm holding on and starving for attention
you take my hand
