It was the week we caught the sun
The thin white streak, the bikini undone I may be meek, but I’m no nun
I may be weak, but my will is strong
I watch you walk along the beach
Followed by dogs - you’re the one unleashed It’s in the way you come across
It’s in the waves you give off
And I can’t begin to explain
But this, whatever it is, needs improvements
And it’s not you - it’s just the path
You’re walking on broken blades of grass
Sure, I’m green, but I’m full-grown Still on the scene, relatively unknown Just for you, I swim lengths
Sail the Bayou, how deep, depends on your sense, your worldview
How ‘bout a dance right here?
You can borrow her shoes
And I can’t begin to explain
But this, whatever it is, needs improvements
We all have demons, you can hear ‘em screamin' If you are anything at all like me, darlin'
The sky will have you reeling
Catch catfish while you're dreaming
Swimming downstream in Athens, Georgia
If it’s your medication, I promise I’ll be patient If it’s hallucination, forgive my fascination
But if it’s for the winter, we’ll call it hibernation If it’s for forever, we’ll call it separation
It’s always been broken
It’s always needed fixin'
The closest to roses I’m going to get
is crying with you in Lafayette
Waiting on the fireflies, hanging out
A couple of marionettes
