Nobody Knows You Slowly

You wear curled up boots
& smoke a slim cigar
You've got a ten gallon hat
& a Buick convertible car
But nobody knows you slowly
Nobody knows who you really are

You sell your soul for money
In half lit American bars
You dream of walks in moonlight
Under a night of silver stars
But nobody knows you slowly
Nobody knows who you really are

You stand assigned to keep your time
Strumming an eight string steel guitar
You’ve walked the line
Your music’s heard near & far
But nobody knows you slowly
Nobody knows who you really are

She saw you in the drive-by
Thought how doubtful you are
She heard you at the movies
With your mournful la la la
She wants to know you slowly
To find out who you really are

She wants to know you slowly
To find out who you really are
But nobody knows you slowly
Nobody knows who you are
She wants to know you slowly
To find out who you really are

Crystal

Turn down the night
As the cars go racing
Settle to the inner sight

Again to walk the machair
Trip down the sand dunes
All at one with two once fair

Take a balance to the light
The clock of time is south facing
The fiddler fettles as well he might

Again to drive on as we dare
Pulled by tractor through golden rills
All at one with two to care

Stroke the glass ball, here your plight
The mirage of worlds are pacing
Life unfolds at the reasons for the flight

Dunes

Low slung moon
Slow sung tune
Palms with shadows for branches

Station

Propulsion
We are all propelled

This way and that
That way and this

That Afternoon

My hand on her firm tummy
Her skin suntanned and warm
Our child lively in her belly
One day of love forever frozen
