Paroles de Song For An Old Friend

the garter snake passed lazily through the tall yellow-headed sourgrass

there was cold, clear water in a tall, clean glass

the sunlight hit the sides and it came through the water tilted
I saw the condensation on your hand

I could feel the glaciers melting



and a warm, soft wind

covered up everything

on the day your love came screaming through me



you had oranges and lemons in a canvas bag beside you

and seven different kinds of light welling up inside of you

you smeared citrus pulp all over me, it felt okay
I felt the warm surge blast my mind

coming in from behind

on the day your love came screaming through me



in the fresh light of day

I felt something falling away

on the day your love came screaming through me
