lyrics
Lavender Doe
(For Dana and The Eleven)
Pumpjacks tilt in slow motion, but steadily—hypnotically
The air is heavy, heady in the swampy night
And the darkness is leaden, quashing every trace of light
Each glimmer, Love, but that of your eyes
I can’t seem to see clearly, but it’s not for lack of trying
In fact, maybe I’m trying too hard
Squinting into the distance: oh, but everything’s obscured
And everything is just a blur but your eyes
Gulf winds, tinged by sulfur and sludge
Toxic spillages and drillers mud:
Is this paradise or what?
The girl they found along the seawall
A beauty in her lavender blouse
She was someone’s darling, surely
She was someone, Darling: full stop.
Is this paradise or what?
Is this paradise or what?
Is this paradise or what?
(For Dana and The Eleven)
Pumpjacks tilt in slow motion, but steadily—hypnotically
The air is heavy, heady in the swampy night
And the darkness is leaden, quashing every trace of light
Each glimmer, Love, but that of your eyes
I can’t seem to see clearly, but it’s not for lack of trying
In fact, maybe I’m trying too hard
Squinting into the distance: oh, but everything’s obscured
And everything is just a blur but your eyes
Gulf winds, tinged by sulfur and sludge
Toxic spillages and drillers mud:
Is this paradise or what?
The girl they found along the seawall
A beauty in her lavender blouse
She was someone’s darling, surely
She was someone, Darling: full stop.
Is this paradise or what?
Is this paradise or what?
Is this paradise or what?
