Nothing’s changed!

I’ve got to get out of the house,
need to shake off these blues filled bouts,   
hard as I try,

nothing’s changed

I walk down the sidewalk,
head down, no one to stop and talk
to, about, unintended consequences

I thought if I went to the sunny side of the street,
A bright spirit would guide me
on a clear and direct path back to you.

Nothing's changed.

No matter how I try,
still leaves me blue
And I want to rearrange
My life, just to get back to you,

Yet, nothing’s changed.

I met this gal up in Kalugnuk,
Her name is Sal,
her brother’s name is Chuck.
They fished for more than fifty years,
Sadly though,
Sal had no teeth,
Chuck had no luck,
  fishing, that is.
And they went no where, anymore.

Let me wish you a dream,
 Gently join me, please,
We’ll go over the hills, cross the streams,
Over the peaks of firs, hemlocks
And other rooted schemes.
Sleep with me through summer nights
We’ll join together in star ship flight.
From one majestic place to another,
Hand in hand, with you,
my night time lover.
