Vetiver

And the rocks and stones and the vetiver
Rat's nest put holes in the rabbit fur
Sun's coming up and the moment, it feels like a purr
And the rocks and stones and the vetiver

Labdanum, ylang-ylang, and wine
Velvet couch, velvet glove, velvet mind
Only lorena, you know that it just takes time
Falling apart and I live in a built-in rhyme

Drinking at the stonewall, dripping ceiling
Kissing in the dark, you know we're feeling
She broke my heart, but at least I got a shower in
I don't regret it for she didn't want to go traveling

Lately, I don't recognize the signs
I'm in the back of the pickup most of the time
It's all in the past, but the past is still alive
The root of me lives in the ballast by the mainline

So I return to the rocks and stones
Depend on the books and poems
Return to the rocks and stones
Return to the rocks, return to the rocks
Return to the rocks and stones
Leave everything that I know
Return to the rocks and stones
Return to the rocks

Won't you leave it to me? Yeah
Won't you leave it to me? Yeah
You know nothing is free, yeah
But it could certainly be, yeah

Lately, I've been waiting for the day
You're the melody, lives inside my head
I wish I could sanctify my mind
Why am I so heavy all the time?

Won't you leave it to me? Yeah
Won't you leave it to me? Yeah
Won't you leave it to me? Yeah
