Erased

in stacks your face, it was a perfect slate
you never could know why, but you recognized this place
like sand, your days take such different shapes
i've read and i've heard, but i never said a word
you're so erased, white canvas stretched for paint
get back inside your cage, your complicated maze
you're so erased, all of you is erased
our days, our games erased
ascend, we never did
now something's out in the grass
to steal things kept out of sight
erased just like an awful photo
hiding out against the night
to unwind your racing time
kept out again of your nights then
when you're ready just go
i wish i could see you, if only just to ask you
--(stay, stay, stay)
lord you've been away too long--
won't you stay awhile and help me feel...
i wish i could see you, if only just to ask you
(certain games aren't safe to play)
--lord you've been away too long--
won't you stay awhile and help me feel somewhat new?
this blaze is mine that's stirring in your pines
your braids, your maze, your veins
ascend, we never did
in your eyes I was ten feet tall
but hardly made of earth or clay
oh, i was brave and you were brave
hiding out against the night
to unwind your racing time
kept out again of your nights then
when you're ready just go.

Alabama Skies

stretched this far
the body can't quite keep up
though soul wants to give you love
and mama loves you
she does, she does
mama loves you
now run along and look for seed
the gold you found was not my type
and keep your ass in my sight
tonight
we'll have a play
i've been to the sea and caressed the waves, it was my favorite place
i've seen the sun tear down that sky, it stole my breath away
the good ain't so far away, there's still some place
where you might feel the color in your skin
and it keeps so warm, it's like i'm always holding you
the days are long and the clouds are there for shade, not for rain
there's still some place
the baby's off in airy dreams
i wonder if he dreams of light
I'll tell another one tonight
of Alabama skies
fireworks, blazing fireworks in July
the baby's off in biting sleep
i wonder if he sees the signs
i'll tell another one tonight
i'll sing until he rises
the baby needs his guide
i've seen god's eyes turn to molten rock, i've seen the wrath of god
i've seen most life, it's a huffing bull in a glass case in a red light district
the good ain't so far away, there's still some place
where the mothers and their carriages hold real babies
and there's more out there to munch and sip on
than that man and his machine stacking bars of protein
where a pink piñata's not a frozen starfish
caught on a piece of wire, swirling in a gyre
where that old green giant's not the can of green beans
that we set out at the last thanksgiving
by our rules, you must believe
that we haven't seen the best of it, we haven't seen a thing
i still see those blue skies in your eyes.
