Scattered relics of your loves
Lying round your dusty bones
Bearing old souls, opening old scars
Dissonant wallow of guitars
Burning off Indian sun
On the water barges hum
Through the bay window panes
Colors magnify and glaze
Sleepy poet's perfect dream
Pass the homes along the sea
This I would, this I will
Leave to join you in the hills
For you I would, for you I will
Leave this for the auburn hills
Find your old peeling house
Find you out there
Here the outcall from the tree
Smell the midnight forest breathe
Shield you from the stalking night
Wake you in the morning
You came to me, in a dream
Waking down the path by the cold icy stream
The white of the snow coating the pines
In the sierra wintertime
You disappeared, you left me alone
In the old master-room of my mountain home
And I called for you so many times
And long for one more day with you in my life
I long for one more day with you in my life
I see you there in my dreams
Your poise is perfect, that of a statuesque queen
Your beautiful hair, your ocean blue eyes
That bear the depths of your losses inside
And I begged of you so many times
To forgive me once and for all, for all of my lies
To forgive me once and for all, for all of my lies
Oh, Miami
The leaning tree
Like a dying hand
As we pass
The long dead grass
Thirsty in the sun
Memories rest
Beyond the broken fence
Let their spirits be
The birds have left
Their mother's nest
On the rose's thorns
There they sway
Over the bleach white grey
Sprawled over the hill
