songs i've written or whatever



Jardin



I fell so hard I skinned my knees
Hot tears running down my dusty cheeks
That weeping willow, she’s a laughing at me
Dancing and swaying in the summer breeze

I swear these statues they can see
The marble a pretense of reality
Dainty fleurs are bloomin an’ dancing,
With the field mice under their feet

A man sits behind his pipe and news
Moths flying outta his pocket
He looks like a ghost in a hat
He looks right through me

I fell so hard I skinned my knees
Hot tears running down my dusty cheeks
That weeping willow, she’s a laughing at me
Dancing and swaying in the summer breeze

I’ve developed a diversion to models
And tall Slavic blondes
They’re all crazy anyway,
Or maybe it’s me

It sits in my mouth like metal
Those years of loves lost
The road ahead untraveled,
My knees to weak to walk

The statue reaches down,
And she whispers
The willow extends me her hand,
“we’ll get there together, my child.
Most days you already have.”


That weeping willow, she’s a laughing at me
Dancing and swaying in the summer breeze
Well that weeping willow, she’s a laughing at me
Dancing and swaying in the summer breeze
