about

for Fred Believer

lyrics

i've been thinking too much
in a world where my fingers can touch
the rocks that the river has made smooth as your face
on it's way through the canyon
i've been drinking my tea
with the honey from a dead man's bees
who themselves all died in the freeze
we had around christmas

you never could hold in your hands
what in your heart kept you lonely and driven
you were running before you could stand
but you just couldn't see what you were missing

i've been walking your dogs down the path
that divides up the east from the west
listening for the sounds of my own breath
which just proves that i'm breathing
well i hung onto every word
every lesson, every blessing, every curse
course the message we both missed
is that a word ain't a thing worth believin'

and you believed with all of your might
changed your name to explain your new living
but you still slept alone every night
you just couldn't see what you were missing

did you just want some kind of relief
from the weight you'd kept buried and hidden
did you never learn how to say what you need
we'd all have come running just to listen
oh this suicide honey's too sweet
now my tears are unhinged but forgiving
still your rosy's on her hands and her knees

as she watches your ashes go drifting
and your sisters and brother are weeping and kissing
while the monks sing a hymn for the living
and the wind gives their robes a good whipping
and takes our voices and sends them up, lifting
high over the cliffs where you'd spent your life sifting
for some kernel of truth in your fields of misgiving
and my brother i hope you can see what you're missing
