ROAD SONG

Past the bend
suddenly in paradise
Hit the breaks, nowhere to stop
below the mountain top
a golden eagle flies

Come look at this, next to Matisse
See how it goes I'm on my toes
behind Magritte, revealing it

Just like that
in the frame above a hat

Here in the song of run along,
come look at this
a narrow path in grass

Did you ever pass that gate,
just like that, finding it
a crystal lake beteween the trees

Here in the land of no goodbyes
Redneck saint, mends a fence
back is bent

Along the way of butterflies
expectations of the heart

Angel drives a pickup truck
corn for hair, sky for eyes
on a dusty track

Come look at this
I'm on my toes
just like that

This day is one for looking back
at every star at night
in a frame above a hat

Island to Island
At each end a ferryride.
Listen to the Heron cry,
dawn is soon
here I fly across the sky
between Venus and the Moon
