little tear

tim mcfate

i had ice coffee in the morning
moved my finger along a map
felt the future rising through me
i held the world in my lap

i though tabout texas this morning
kanas is now on my mind
followed you through the flood plains
the swelling rivers a sign

you are driving back from the desert
i take a bath in the dark
you see the road disappear behind you
and i call you from a bench in the park

all the rivers that run between us
keep us nourished when we are so far apart
i love how we think about water
so fertile right from the start.

i took my shoes off in manhattan
about a year or so ago
bounced my words off a satellite
everything i wanted you to know
wanted you to know
everything
i wanted you to know everything

i thought about texas in the morning
kanas is now on my mind
followed you through the flood plains
the swollen rivers a sign

the sun dances on the horizon
the moon not far behind
i would drive all night just to see you
to penetrate your sensuous mind

the air is so pungent
the light so warm and deep
i walk the levee to remind you
the river is ours to keep

little tear.. ive been thinking
im ready and im walkin your way
meet me in the middle
ill play the fiddle
make a nest in the grass and we can play

little tear.. ive been thinking
