Oh I want to be gone when you get home tonight, alright
No I won’t be home when you get home tonight, alright
I want to be flying away into the night
When the baby is asleep, I will slip out in(to) the early morning light

The Leaves In Our Mouths
04:07

behind the house there is a garden
that i am tending for you
when you come home this summer
there is no root we will not pull
the leaves in our mouths
the laughter ringing through the house
and all off this for you
the drinking of wine
the dancing late into the night
inside the house there is a bathtub
that we are filling for you
when you come in this evening
there is no crevice we will not clean
the soap in our eyes
the air your laughter seems to baptize
and all of this for you
the passing of time
our unrecorded endless bloodline
beside the house there is a pine box
that you will fill with me
when i go home this winter
there is nothing i will not leave
the salt on your skin
the mucus you will not hold in
and all of that for me
this lifeblood we pass
these bodies becoming dirt and ash

Poppa was a singer had a voice that was a zinger
took his fingers put ‘em on pianos
played em with a tickle, yeah the crowds they were fickle
but enough to bring my momma to the show
that show, that show is where the magic grow
poppa gave her that glow
that glow, that glow is how he look for gold
gonna play to get gold

Poppa got a dream gonna leave this Alabama
Said to mama 'gotta get' she said 'No!'
Jumped in his camino, said 'I'm off to California
Come and find me when you ready' she said 'No!'
She won't go, even when he beg her so
stayin' home she won't go
She said no, 'won't follow you to so and so'
stayin' home, won't go

Papa on the street and met a banker who was eating
tole him, money in the bank will always grow
opened an account but his check would always bounce
always looking for a buck, it don't show
It won't grow, his money won't ever grow
his investment to low
It won't grow, that money won't ever grow
his investment to low
-
Got up on a bus, one way ticket Guatemala
Gonna take his stack o dollars, buy a grove
Lay up in a hammock, in his hand Pina Colada
Not a single bill to pay, not a commode
It won't grow, his banana won't even grow
his banana won't grow
They won’t grow, even when he curse em so
his bananas won't grow

When I was a sailor I made em
When I was an island, a lion
when I was a tight rope, I left him
when I was an island, I was in ocean
when I was in Zion, I was alone then
when I was his ocean, I was an orphan
when I was an island, saw me some sky then

when all the leaves of grass are sown
I look up to see what I own
I own what is there left to be
I take all of the family
I know I'll not a lot to leave
I know what I have got to be
and I survive and I surmise
I take what I see with my eyes
I take what I see with my eyes
I take what I see with my eyes
I know there is no more of this
