San Miguel

Left the house at midnight
Just a shirt upon my back
I walked a hundred moonlit miles,
to where the ghost slept ‘neath the tracks
I woke him for directions
He just looked down at my shoes
I hit the city barefoot
Not a penny left to lose
I slept all through the morning,
soothed by the city’s song
The mean machines and the magazines
and the movers shook along
I met a girl out on the road,
and she took care of me
You know that love in transit don’t fade so gracefully
In the hills outside of San Miguel tonight
Lord, it was the first time that I prayed
Though the road leading home is paved with gold
Don’t you know I’m wishing that I’d stayed
300 miles up the 101
There's ocean behind me and desert in front
You know I admire
How careful you dismiss
You're something I desire
You're something I miss
In the hills outside of San Miguel tonight
Lord, it was the first time that I prayed
Though the road leading home is paved with gold
Don’t you know I’m wishing that I’d stayed
In the hills outside of San Miguel tonight
I swore I saw my shadow disappear
Though the road leading home is beautiful I’m told
These days it just feels so unclear

Tortoise Shell

The jack-of-all-trades parades in the past
Picking up pace 'til he knows he's not last
He's coming in hot
Hotter than he thought
To turn on a dime
Is it such a crime?
Your tortoise shell won't serve you well in the end
The ball is in play, no one left to defend
Under crescents he stands
Silver rays they command
The blind lead the blind
To another mind
A creature of habit is nothing to fear
Resort to the past but there's common ground here
He's so tongue in cheek
He barely can speak
The creature of habit sees nothing wrong
He's so tongue in cheek
He barely can speak
The creature of habit humming along
