Once upon a time in Santa Cruz.. . .

lyrics

Firelight

come carve our names, among all the lovers lit by the flames, in the big house in the cedars. wide porch creaking, with chairs of wicker full of skirts & jeans, that’s where i hold you. kissing cousins in the big pane window, cedar living room, dark floor all scuffed by shoes, huge hearth warms us, on the beat-up sofa spread with indian shawls, that’s where i kiss you. later on, pull a shawl round your shoulders, take my hand

later on, kisses come to you, someone upstairs bangs on a drum. one dog farts, & the fire pops. later on, the boys & girls crowd on this couch & burn for the furious mandolin strummer.

come to the stream, running to the city & the generations are weeping. we see them moving, as our shapes flicker on the dark walls, & we want to live & just let be.

put your arms round me, let me travel up you in the land of firelight, gliding like a canoe. flicker knowing, as the wind is blowing & in our eyes see me glow with you. later, tell me as we lie skin to skin how to hold you, when you’re frail as a child — how to hold you, in our corner when we’ve fallen to the place called you & i. later on, pull a shawl round your shoulders, take my hand.

later on, can we walk on the ridge, see the fog ride the redwoods, look up the coast — can we hold hands & feel it all live? later on, the boys & girls crowd on this couch & burn for the furious mandolin strummer.
