The Last Benedict
By the time this cigarette is finished
A rusted elegance will emerge
Like a habit, you still come around
This I know you told me so
And like a habit you come around
This I know
I've paid attention
Nothing but the courage of a fool
And I pretend I hear an ocean
And I can almost smell the sea
Let's say that writer was an asshole
Let's just say that asshole wasn't me
And in my mind, I'm in a house along the beach
The interstate and trees sound just like waves
A voice beyond the leaves
Sings in a lazy kind of yodel
Softly spraying airy thoughts
This is all I know
You just told me so
It was nothing but the courage of a fool
Back in the spring, the view was better
There were birds there to be named
Things got southern in the autumn
The light was golden in the morning
Sun
Dog looks at bird
Bird watches dog
We are transfixed here and breezy
Together in the twilight just to watch it die
It was nothing but the courage of a fool
A rusted elegance will emerge
Like a habit, you still come around
This I know you told me so
And like a habit you come around
This I know
I've paid attention
Nothing but the courage of a fool
And I pretend I hear an ocean
And I can almost smell the sea
Let's say that writer was an asshole
Let's just say that asshole wasn't me
And in my mind, I'm in a house along the beach
The interstate and trees sound just like waves
A voice beyond the leaves
Sings in a lazy kind of yodel
Softly spraying airy thoughts
This is all I know
You just told me so
It was nothing but the courage of a fool
Back in the spring, the view was better
There were birds there to be named
Things got southern in the autumn
The light was golden in the morning
Sun
Dog looks at bird
Bird watches dog
We are transfixed here and breezy
Together in the twilight just to watch it die
It was nothing but the courage of a fool
