Put it in the bucket if the bucket's there, Throw it in the alley, honey, I don't care, Stay beneath the covers in your underwear and throw down. Put it in the mail, sail it on the sea, Dress it up and send it to the jubilee - I got a woman down in Missouri, I'm gonna go down. Take it to the forest and give it a toss, Down in the gully, honey, over in the moss, Without you, babe, I'm a total loss and a loser. Send me an E, call me on the phone, Please don't leave me here all alone, Morning comes like the twilight zone, I can't use her. Ain't it a big one, ain't it tall, Looks about as high as a prison wall, Up we climb and down we fall together. Over and over and into the blue We say we are but we're never through. I've got a big bad thing for you forever. Call it impossible, call it a crime, Not kissing you is a waste of time, It doesn't scan and it doesn't rhyme without you. Call it a picnic, take it to the park, Meet me at the willow along about dark, The only song I sing like a meadowlark is about you. Fry it up, choke it down, save me some, I'm so happy I must be dumb, A sparrow at your shoes pecking at the crumbs you're leaving. How do we end what we should begin, I don't even know what town we're in, Please, God, say that it isn't a sin I'm grieving. Yes, it's a big one, yes, it's wide, Out to the world from deep inside, With me, love, oh please abide a while. Once again I am on my knees Singing to you in Portuguese, It feels like the sky and the wind and the trees are on trial. Put it in your laughter, put it in your drink, Put all the pretty lies under the sink, You always hid me, didn't you think I was trying? Write it in your journal or prop it in a nook, It oughta be illegal when you give me that look, Write another chapter at the close of the book I'm dying. Mix it with the ashes, throw it on the rocks, Hide it in your bra, stuff it in your socks, Only you and I could take those walks, oh my dear. Wash it all out, throw it in the dryer, Put it on the back burner with a low fire, Write another song for the lonely choir, just get it out of here. Yes, it's a big one, yes, it's tall, Two little children and one big wall, Up we climb and down we fall together. You say a gal's gotta do what a gal's gotta do, Well, just you remember how I love you And that I've got a big bad thing for you forever.

There's a girl standing on a red mud road
Looking up at Legel's Hill
She has never been much farther than that
But she knows someday she will

Hillbilly girl - a big big world

She is strumming on a catalog guitar

Let me make it clear
It rains in Seattle more than it does here
We have lots of fun
Raising bananas one by one
I must be, I must be in Oregon.

The sky is hanging low
As a clothesline full of clothes

A little creek you could spit across
Jimmy and me each took one more toss
our spinners bright in the evening air
People always said, There ain't no fish in there
Well grownups they ain't always right
Jimmy and me walked home slow that night
right down Main Street in our P.F. Fliers
with two 5 lb. bass making grown men liars

People are in the dark, they don't know what to do
Had a little lantern oh but it got blown out too
I'm reachin out my hands. I know you are too
Cuz I just want to be in the dark with you

Every day every night all over my whole life through
Just let me be in the dark with you
Every day every night all over my whole life through

I'll walk around
some ancient city,
write in my notebook,
and drink my tea.
Don't have to make love,
'cause love made me,
and I'll be happy
just by myself.

Words like notes,
Are strokes along the thigh-
A long slow seduction,
On an Autumn night-
When Autumn, was still Autumn.
Wait a minute now,
Everybody just hold it.
Let's think about this.

The children are crying
The dead leaves are flying
The rain and the world news
Fall in the abyss
Nothin' we can do
`bout nothin'. Please will you,
Give me one more goodnight kiss

I can't say don't go but i can't say go
I can't say stay we both know
We both know you're going & we both know why
But i can't say don't go i can't say goodbye

I can't say hold me i wish i could
I'm feeling so cold & you're looking so good
But it aint to be you got a good man

coldest night of the winter working up my farewell
in the middle of everything under no particular spell
i am dreaming of the mountains where the children learn the stars
clouds roll in from nebraska dark chords on a big guitar
my restlessness is long gone i would stand here like an old jack pine
but I'm looking for rexroth's daughter the friend of a friend of mine

i can't believe your hands and mouth did all that to me

How are things going in the small dark movie of your life
Late at night you call your girlfriend in the morning you call your wife
In the morning you go for coffee leave town by the underpass
Leave whatever happened last night cigarette in a champagne glass

The road used to go someplace you never been before
Now it's just a race track and the only prize is more
The only off-ramp is up ahead and just where ain't too clear

Bouffant hairdo, ne'er-do-well
Warm the car up, perfume smell
Work is there when love is gone
Smell of coffee, crack of dawn

Pheasant clucking, ice cold dew
Backseat shotgun, frosty slough
Chevy coughing, let's move on

We used to say I could walk all night, and we could and we did
Down that gravel road, to that tiny town, and the door always opened
Now we say I could walk all night. It's not true
We can't walk all night, no, because we don't want to
We want a bed and a blanket, some light breakfast, sometime tomorrow
We want a bed and a blanket, some light breakfast, sometime tomorrow
And I sing it now, hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it
Hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it

Hello darlin'.
I been gone for awhile.
Come on in and see me,
I ain't wearin' nothin' but a smile.
Just when we should be kissin',
seems like we fuss and fight.
You say you don't know why,
and I say I don't know why.
