Find me, Ruben Olivares Lyrics
meet me at Leon near Mexico city
where i remember you clear
meet me at night, St. Louis, Missouri
where i first saw you
there is a scent that lingers around me
find me wherever i go
there are the pictures, sad but so pretty
lakes and sunsets
find me asleep near deserts and oceans
places i couldn´t have dreamed
they are all cold and frozen without you
they are nothing
chase me down Sycamore
like you did not long before
play your old brown guitar
and shine so bright
there is a trail that winds 'round the river
there is a bench on the ground
those are the beds and the rooms that we slept in
those are the songs we found
find me in streets searching for something
something somehow that i lost
find me in life aching for someone
someone as good
look for me like you did
on the days i ran and hid
bring your old gifts you brought
and find me
there is a world, big as a mountain
there is a world to be shared
still there is love, tall as a mountain
still there is love
where i remember you clear
meet me at night, St. Louis, Missouri
where i first saw you
find me wherever i go
there are the pictures, sad but so pretty
lakes and sunsets
places i couldn´t have dreamed
they are all cold and frozen without you
they are nothing
like you did not long before
play your old brown guitar
and shine so bright
there is a bench on the ground
those are the beds and the rooms that we slept in
those are the songs we found
something somehow that i lost
find me in life aching for someone
someone as good
on the days i ran and hid
bring your old gifts you brought
and find me
there is a world to be shared
still there is love, tall as a mountain
still there is love

My roommate Charlie had this album in a dusty box on his desk, I found it when I was falling in love a few years ago. She was coming out of a controlling relationship and so we often met secretly, leaving notes for each other in a hollowed-out tree. We traveled probably ten thousand miles together. Miss those days.
side note: Ruben Oliveres was apparently a boxing champion. Makes the song more interesting, yeah?
@civiljoe wow mate. Thats heavy. Did you end up together?

@Booblehead we did - we got an old schoolbus together and lived out of it for a few years. Eventually we sold it so she could go to grad school - she lives out in California, I stayed in West Virginia and started a farm and a summer program for disadvantaged youth. I haven't seen her in nearly five years, but she said she might come visit me this summer...

I first came across this on the Shanti Project benefit disc back in the late 90s. At the time I think it was that Mark couldn't release new music due to contractual disputes, and it has always struck me as a lament for a friend who jas passed, one you knew when you were young and still not fully formed. It reminds me so vividly of my friend Paul who died young as the result of an accidental overdose. In the months and years since his passing I have found the world coldly still goes on, as big and expansive as it ever was- and yet I have also found the love I had for him undiminished, if anything, it has grown and keeps up with that growth of the world. That's what this song says to me and until the day I finally have the words to write the song he deserves, there is this one. Simple, yet big as a mountain.
