Not A Day Goes By
01:26

The glory sunlight comes pouring in
I wake up slowly like I always did
My faucet's running, the birds are singing in the window
Go, "Whoa oh," and I'm like, "Check it y'all can fly"
Not a day goes by
I am wearing one of many ties
My motion's cosmos miniaturized
My motor's running, the lights are changing all around me
What a kaleidoscopic right
Not a day goes by
The earth is turning and I'm all right
The earth is hurtling and I'm mighty fine
My heart is running, my heart is hoping for a leap here
I mean, I'm living a lovely life but
Not a day goes by
Not a day goes by
That I don't wonder, oh, I wonder
Am I on the tip of your tongue? Am I on your mind?
And if you wonder, if you'd like to know do I?
Not a day goes by

What Is Queer
03:14

I waited for you outside of the bar
The rain came down like fists on the tar
I wished you would call, I wished you would show
I wished I could go but the rain was too hard
But the memory is a sweet thing, it's a sweet thing, it's a sweet thing
No matter how hard it rode in my rough
That was a night, this is a day,
And I will shrug you off
What is queer is our clipped love
Is our split selves in this mix-up
What is hard is no kind of help
No aid from no one, not even myself
I took off my dress in your car
Just to change, just to change
I put my feet through my jeans' ankles and
You looked so strangely at me
I guess you couldn't see what it means to me
But the memory is a sweet thing, it's a sweet thing, it's a sweet thing
No matter how hard it rode in me rough
That was a night, this is a day,
And I will shrug you off
What is queer is one deaf ear
Is one-hand handshakes and toast with no cheer
What is sad is that now you and I can smile
In each other's faces, and you will still lie

Rosemary
02:37

Remember in the bleak winter
We once blessed the death of December
We breathe in bursts, flickering, we decompressed
And hummed "yes" with wind-words
My body and your lithe body
Far below us sighed and writhed wildly
And why dying smally artists glow with
Shows of roses I don't know it
What slimmest beam, unfinished bird
In flight, so thrashed and mixed in us?
We hatching, singing, standing, matching, dancing
Mirror this beginner
Rosemary, in the nose very pungent,
Don't run from it, no, just go carefully
We don't want it, no we don't want it
But it's coming, so welcome it
Fie death and doom, my darling, darling
Morning comes with a calling
My heft and groove, my gnarly snarling
Brings breakfast home with no bargaining
And I'm sharpening eye and every tooth,
To every movement I'm harkening
My animal, oh, my darling animal
Drawing to me when the sky's darkening
And hard-rolling tomorrow comes bowling
Over hillocks unconsoling.
The sweet flatness of the great Greek Atlas
Sings in key with our droning.
And hard snowing around our hearts' knowing
Warms our home like hearths glowing
And still fire, burning, ne'er will tire
Till life goes down at our slowing
Each blooming, breathing, breaking, swooning smile
They all are still dooming
First fire, ghost of its maker
Still will come to an end by its acre
And this acher, twisted on a toothpick
Bound and emboldened by strong fiber
Blood pumping something out from nothing,
And back to nothing we're becoming

Love Me Still
03:42

My last kiss with you wasn't tender, nor sweet
No, I was hungry for you, and you were leaving me
I tried to understand how I was not in your plans
When I know that you love me still
You love me still
It was my last chance to show that my desire runs deep
My last chance to explain myself with no words, no speeches
Cause I dont feel equipped. All I can feel are your lips
Telling me that you love me still
You love me still
They told me you love me still
You love me still
The last thing I want is to take it too far
The last thing I'd wish for you is an ache in your heart
But this touch through the window, I need it, I cannot let go
I want to believe that you love me still
You love me still
I need to think you love me still
You love me still
