lyrics

Sweating in the kitchen, 5 p.m.
Waiting for the sea breeze
To kick in
The silence broken by the clamor of the train yard
And the flies
Who won't leave me alone

The garden's growing, well, the weeds at least
Morning glory winding round and choking the stalks
And I can't focus long enough
To read my magazine
At least the collard greens are growing all right

I made a resolution
I'm gonna watch more TV

Shadows stretching across the yard
Somewhere dogs are barking
I hope they're okay
Like a sign seen in hindsight on a dodgy forest rode
Seems everything is broken and nothing is real

I made a resolution
I'm going to leave room to breathe
Don't have a real solution
Wish I'd stop clenching my teeth

Standing on the front porch, glass in hand
Heavy light pollution from the apartments across the tracks
But I don't mind
I can still see a couple constellations
And the bright face of a wandering star
