hairpin

i woke up grinding my teeth

with you next to me

just smiling

my friend through hairpin bends

you do upend my island

through infidel skies

through asphodel eyelids

one eye at a time

i can't wait to go home

to be there when the new world comes

i woke in startling light

then it became night just as suddenly

i'll be as true as i can

through this circumstance

but it's tiring

through zinfandel eyes

through infinite isles

one mile at a time

i can't wait to go home

to be there when the new world comes

to forget where the old world was
