LOVE & COFFEE I – THE WHEEL
copying down notes in the passenger seat of a dodge ram 1500. a song of survival becomes a profession of love.

written down as the hunter stands over the sky drawing his bow in the infinite night. so young thinking somehow surrender was the key. wrapped up in love and darkness through the floor board rises the well of a wheel. heart is a wheel. apple is a wheel. sailor is a symbol.

the opening song for countless shows across the country. sang it thousand times for nobody at all…

i think i may have lost my mind
somewhere back there down the line
can i help it if sometime i
try and make a little sense of it
shining saviors jump and shout
words roll like thunder from my mouth
i’ve seen enough now i want out
of this place i’m in

living this way i ain’t goint to last
there’s a dream light breaking
through these pale shades of glass
drifting i know will do my heart in
still i’m bound to keep rolling
while the wheel is still in spin

don’t all the faces seem so strange
when you find you’ve begun to gaze
into the never ending space
that’s lying right in front of you
the golden temptress turns and sighs
this time please try and get it right
or else come here into the light
and let me lay my hands on you

at the roadside house we said our vows
on a chariot the bride was taken out
only a fool would never doubt
the things he thinks he knows
did you mean it when you said
you heard voices from the dead
and to a sailor you would wed
in the early hours of the morn
