God Of Ocean Tides

Close the door on a short nightLift the lid on the daylight6: 09 West Tennessee timeAnd I buy all my daysAt the same place where the girl sells her nightsTo a God of ocean tidesAll night longWriting poems to CaliforniaMelodies of failureAnd the people I have thrown awayMeanwhile, somewhere west of CarolinaIn a congregation of strangersWe are digging holes to ChinaThen we pray to our reflectionsIn the water when it risesI said headlights pin the highway downJesus spins the world aroundAnd I'll spend all my tomorrows coming downGoodbye all my daysI know I said I never loved youBut I might just try again tonightTruck stops and river GodsGas stations of the CrossFollowing a ghostFollowing a ghostI pray the water wash awayThe memories and the costCary me south, to the seaAlong with your memories of meWe are born in the waterNow we return to TheeColored lightsAnd birthday cakesCandle waxOn paper platesBreathe the waterHush-a-bye, hush-a-byeYou can see through waterAll the way up to the skyGods of water, Gods of rainCover up the sun againWe are crossing it at the Mississippi lineAnd I tried all my daysTo love you just the way you hoped I mightBut I'm leaving here tonightI can't remember yesterdayI tried, if I said I could I lied
