my heart becam

e a drunken ru

nt
            
on the day i s


unk in this sh

unt

to tap me clea

n

of all the won

der
              
and the sorrow

          
 i have seen
              
since i left m

           
y home
  
my home on the

 old milk lake
            
where the dark

              
ness does fall

    
 so fast
              
it feels like 

              
some kind of m

              
istake
          
just like they

              
 told you it w

 
ould
              
just like they

 
 told you it w

ould
           
when i came in

     
to my land

            
i did not unde

 
rstand
            
neither dry ro

              
t or the burn 

            
pile or the ba


rk
beetle or the dry well
         
or the black b

ale

             
but there is a

nother
              
who is a littl

  
e older
              
when i broke m

  
y bone,
              
he carried me 

              
up from the ri

   
verside
            
to spend my li

fe in spitting

 distance
        
of the love th

at i have know

n
            
i must stay he


re
              
in an endless 

 
eveningtide
              
and if you com

      
e and see me
              
you'll upset t

   
he order
              
you cannot com

      
e and see me
              
for i set myse

   
lf apart
              
but when you c

        
ome and see me
   
in California
           
you cross the 

    (     
border of my h

eart

              
well, i have s

             
own untidy fur

       
rows 'cross my

 soul
             
but i am still

          
 a coward
              
content to see

             
 my garden gro

     
w so sweet

             
and full of so

        (
meone else's f

lowers
              
sometimes i ca

           
n almost feel 

        (  
the power
(          
sometimes i am

           
 so in love wi

     (   
th you
(          
like a little 

           
clock that tre

(   
when i called 

/

in a bad way

time will tell
         
if i can be we

ll
            
and rise to me

et you rightly

           
when moving ac

     
ross my land
            
brandishing th

              
emselves like 

              
a burning bran

  
ch
            
advance the ta

              
llow-colored, 

 
wall-eyed deer
      
quiet as gondo

liers

              
well, i wait a

             
ll night for y

        
ou in Californ

 goldfish
              
from their sor

that here awai

ts

              
i don't belong

    
 to anyone

from pulling a

              
rtlessly with 

            
fool commands
              
some nights i 

           
just never go 

              
to sleep at al

shaking in the

           
 doorway like
