Did you notice my expression change
whenever you said this face to face
or hear it in some nuanced wave
the many times you said it on the phone
Write from the heart! Just let it flow!
and nevermind the mess
we’ll sift through mountains full of dirt
to find the gold you meant
Find the moment! Just unleash
the bloodhounds you keep caged
through authentic chaos of the trail
that patch of cloth will lead us to your soul
I started this piece ballpark twenty minutes
Finished now, really it just flows
When we sit down to write it’s in one sitting
I just try to start with one true thing
