Creating a Memory of You
She said, "I need a lover who won't drive me
crazy"
Drivin' around in the Austin Marina,
Deep as my midnight could see in the dark,
I never "forget about my man"
He lights the fireflies and the lanterns,
Like nighttime nightmares turn to dreams,
Plane crashes down in the heart of France,
But noone was hurt, and I felt relief....
I'm such a tired mama,
I turned an unfortunate down-
I drew a picture with crayons,
I said, "ONE TOKE OVER THE LINE"-
Sometimes I see him lookin', like, wierd,
And I later recall, what he was thinkin',
He seems to be laughing at some old thing,
Seems he was "Runnin' down the road with me
Both as naked as sin-"
Blind Faith.
I told him I liked "John Mellencamp"-singin'
"Jack and Diane" and "The Authority Song"
And he put out his cigarette half a butt left-
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
