They discovered a planet that has no star
Maybe they'll let me name it whoever they are

I know all about it.
A planet. No orbit. Just lost out in space
No hope or habit…

Don't ask me any questions because I know too much.
I've read too much. I've written too much.
Consider the lilies of the field.
I know exactly how they feel
My mom told me to be like…

More "love is mislabeled" music.
ROCKS
How many times have you heard someone say, "I thot it would go on forever"?
How many times have you scratched your head and thot, "How clever."?
There's a rock in Yosemite that will probably stand…

Just remembering how we cried when we met because it was so right and we could see that it would end some day.
When the lovers met they cried for it was clear that some day they would be apart. Only lovers see that far. When the lovers met…

Just another silly song about getting dumped...on.
WEATHER
Weather man is talking on the radio
Says the sun is gonna shine
But does he really know?
If I believe that the sun would shine

But if…

I asked my love to take a walk
Just a little old walk. Just a little old walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
If you’ll just say that you’ll be mine
And in no other’s arms entwine

No tobacco chew

Don't allow no grass

I'll leave your ass
Oh, yeah, you're pretty
and yes…

Three dollars at the drug store
For a rose as real as life
Can't pass the display

That's what she said to me…

THE WALK
I drove 400 miles that night

Were hopes like I'd never seen
She called me from work that afternoon
She said she'd be off about 2 AM
Said it would be nice…
