Untitled

tough to walk, hard to catch a ride 
sun beating down, hot, hot day 
wanting to catch a ride 
nice to have some kind of wheels

how would it be to go from here to there 
to go where you want and when 
kick back and enjoy the tunes 
feeling cold air and a cool drink right there

feet tired, skin so hot, dry dry air 
there goes one now, a nice ride 
they didn't even look at me 
just heading on down the road

need just some wheels, anything will do 
one that can go from here to there 
take me there and what would it be like 
to not worry about the tires 
engine getting hot, not enough juice

anything will do, just anything will do 
an old 70 Ford with a good engine 
maybe a Chevy with any kind of rims really 
a torn seat, a cracked window who cares 
just so long as it runs

burning up on the highway 
dust in face, heat from the road 
an old truck pulls up and he says 
it ain�t so pretty but it will get you there 
jump in, and crawling in the miles slip on by

it is so good to get a ride 
just any ride, the wind whistling 
and a breeze blowing and miles slip by 
cool water from a jug, it is a nice day

Apology to Dominique
by Lane Baldwin

I cannot seem to form the words in ways you'll understand 
How having lost my daughter's trust scarred me to the bone 
But here I'll try to pass along the things I've told to no one 
Except myself when I'm alone so no one can bear witness

I rue the years when I succeeded so well in perfect failure 
When the only things that held my thought were those that would destroy 
me 
I sought for those who harbored hate to match my own self-loathing 
For there were things about myself I just couldn't bear to own

The things I thought I should have done and was sure I'd never master 
Made me feel myself a failure and I thought I'd never change 
Not even once considering the world might turn to let me 
I shied away from anyone who'd love or comfort me

This included all my kin: sisters - mother - father 
But even worse I left behind my flesh and blood: my daughter 
And I forgot the vow I made when you survived your own beginning 
To protect and love forever more no matter what came after

While caught inside my own demise I missed collateral damage 
Heaped upon the life of one so near and dear to me 
Buried in the hole I'd dug I no longer saw the sunshine 
Even when it passed high overhead the shadows still engulfed me

It took so long to climb to safety I wearied of the climbing 
But cut and bruised I persevered for one goal kept me going 
The prize I sought was not of praise, not of fame and fortune 
For all I treasured in my heart was to hold you once again

Now I weep with tears of joy when we share the briefest moment 
And I look back to see my fears and all that they have cost me 
But have they cost me your embrace or even your forgiveness? 
Have we reached a point from which we never can turn back?

For if I could wish upon a star and have my one wish granted 
I'd wish the anger that you hold, though justified and valid 
Might fade away as time goes by like fog upon the meadow 
Burned away by noonday sun and so feel your love upon me.
