look out mama, there’s a white boat comin’ up the river
Neil Young, 1977 (I borrowed a few lines)

been thinking about things
back when… like 1977
Sirius comes round and
she helps me to remember
there’s reasons I don’t say
there’s pain I’ve pushed away
and the closer they come
the more I pull the trigger

I’ve stopped and wondered why
heard the thunder in the sky
and that boat is making waves
momma said I should stay
memories fade away
and all I can see
is my face splashed in the sky

now shelter me from the storm
forgive me when I’m withdrawn
some things should be unknown
yet so much left to sow
lots more soul to grow
i think of you as someone
who gives me kindness

look out baby, there’s a wind a blowin
and a tear drop fell onto my own pillow
knowing it must be wrong
earth’s suffered for so long
we’ve known it all along
and all I ever needed… was your smile
