Trouble Among the Horses

Days are long and they keep getting longer
- the season and the mood -
I’ve got a lot of things to do,
God knows I try hard to
Wonder how long it has been since I last
danced and cruised the floors
No, that’s right, it was last New Year’s
It seems so long ago
The horses are kicking,
I guess they can smell
the change on the grange
But Spring won’t be long now
and then I will let them out
They’ll be fine
I’ve had a lot of time to think,
but I hardly ever do
I have no real use for thoughts -
I save them all for you
The next time that I see the mailman
I’ll ask him where they’ve gone,
all those letters you have sent me
Perhaps he just forgot
The horses are kicking,
I guess they can smell
the change on the grange
But they will calm down
just as soon as they see
the ground’s Summer gown
The horses are kicking,
I guess they can smell
the change on the range
Autumn is chilly -
I think they could use your touch
Soon enough...
The horses are kicking,
I guess they can smell
the change on the grange
Winter means time to relax
but they roam out back
near your shack
How ‘bout that?
They think that
you won’t be back

Hope in Hell

It’s said “When they hurt you,
you grow more skin”
The plan is to stop you
from hurting again
Now life is more painful
than I’ve ever known,
but skin knows no proverbs,
my skin is gone
I can feel your sympathy,
but that won’t heal a single cell
Yeah, it’s true, you’ve got lives too
but all I ask for is a friend
Soft snow is falling,
the sky has turned grey
A black cloud spits pure snow
and there’s hope in hell
So say that you’ll be there
or don’t say a word
‘Cause I need my friends now
and I need a girl.

Regressing to Sixteen

Early 1990
I guess it was as dreary as it’s now
But I can’t remember
any aspect other than my own
But that was heaven being born
The sylphs all came down and performed
Just standing there,
two heads full of steam
Tried not to touch,
regressing to sixteen
Just standing there,
not noticing the rain
We ignored the world,
quite gorgeously insane
I came into your bedroom,
very far from needing that night’s rest
Quite embarrassed
And in my shorts very overdressed.
