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 balance, but I'm main line 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 here Lately, I've been waiting for the day You're the melody that 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
