your car smells like wet leaves
an old nissan,
sticky with sap from the
garage of trees
and the clinging webs
of the spiders who've cooked in the heating vents
your speakers are broke, they
rattle the songs
loosened and choked out by
shivering plates
and your ready mouth
our ears drink in songs and our lips pour them out
headlights gripping each side of the road
you can never get lost with nowhere to go
in cool weather, wet leaves...

You Prayed for Rain
04:05

your brain is a cape that gets caught in the briars
branches and burrs in your woolen, red wires
i spent a year in the city just to lift you out
of a briar patch
just to lift you out
you didn't pray for money
you don't pray for fame
but you raised the shoreline
when you prayed for rain
wet leaves or dry leaves; neither will burn
take me or leave me; leave me to scorn
i spent a year singing river man
just to lift you out
of a briar patch
just to lift you out
you didn't pray for money
you didn't pray for fame
but you raised the shoreline
when you prayed for rain
