The Queen of America

Well they made up a figure
And they called it you
And they bought you a market
For the things you do
And you drop like a name
Right into the scene
You're the Queen of America
But what does that mean?
Well they made you a promise
And they kept it too
And you're sure you earned it
Cause you always knew
But I pulled your file
And a funny thing
You're the Queen of America
But who's your King?
Well they made up a figure
And they called it you
And they brought you to market
With the things you do
And you drop like a name
Right into the sea
You're the Queen of America
But what does that mean?

Long Tom says
It's just like a poem
It's just like a song
But I could never sing along
& don't you know
My deepest fear
Is not the years --
It's all the threads that disappear
Yet there was day
I stood by your side
The stories crashed
History shook.
And there was day
I stood by your side
Empires crashed
History shook.
Long Tom says
It's just like a poem
It's just like a song
But I could never sing along.
But I could never sing along.
But I could never sing along.

This
is not the life we chose
But it's the life we know
The world where I'm with you
I've heard
That there's another world
A place we never met
I know that can't be true

Miss McGinty's Ghost
Checks the daily post
For a letter from the coast
And the leaves they squall
Past Miss McGinty's wall
As she marks another fall
And they say you get used to all of it
But I don't think that I could mend
Miss McGinty's Ghost
Checks the daily post
Again
Never spoke my mind.
Tried not to be unkind.
But I left you in a bind --
And the leaves they squall
Past our garden wall
As I'm waiting for your call
And they say I'd get used to all of it
But I don't think that I could mend
Miss McGinty's Ghost
Checks the daily post
Again

Gods

When I was young I had my gods,
And I believed in every one.
When I was young I had my gods,
And I believed in every one.
When I was young I had my gods,
And I believed in every one.
When I was young I had my gods,
And I believed in every one.
And I won't take it back.
And I won't take it back.
And I won't take it back.
And I won't take it back

I want to leave you, I can't.
I want to be with you, I cant.

If I saw you today would it be the same mess different day?
I am still just in the way. And it always is the same mess different day.

The Sound of Heaven
02:08

Nicene Creed
you always knew your wine
excuse yourself
for the thousandth time
and brace your body
for the hour you find
we are all together.
its like the sound of heaven when its heard from hell
periodontal bliss
did you ever freak
as you made it through
yet another week
and what did he say
you only heard the creak
of your long together
its like the sound of heaven when its heard from hell

You had the house in Brighton; it was more than you
could make, waiting on your tables or a trade. But
in the evenings, still a place where Williams could make
sense: the smell of books, and quiet, and radiator steel.
And the rain made you tall.
You held it like a book as you were walking through
the park, and Sunday bookstore coffee shops at noon. It
had a certain majesty, the silence was so dark, you'd
almost disappear, you'd melt into the room.
And the rain made you tall.

from the glaciers of Antarctica
to that icy icy Seine
I'm tired of being lonely
I want to see you again
see you again
The dread of something after
regrets of things gone by
you shuffled off with laughter
the things we used to try
(we used to try)
youre like winter
but i'm so cold
