L'anse

So I stretched my arms and looked up Through the new, improved skylight The worries from the night before All slithered out of sight And on your way downstairs You turned the Christmas lights back on And the red retriever followed you Into the early dawn Well the chorus came and went Without me noticing it pass Autumn's leaves are in the air It all happened so fast While you sang the words to half the songs That I had ever loved It was the elemental tourniquet That quelled the gush of blood So I drove to L'Anse and listened To Hank Williams on the way With the busted window out of whack Along the Lost Highway With the turning of the worm I felt the slow and steady burn Of a melody I knew was coming on Well the water glistened in the Sun And I was One with Everyone On the sand and grass where everyone Was One with everyone I won And though the rancor stank Around the tankard Still I drank and thanked my Maker That He'd make someone as beautiful as you So I drove to L'Anse and listened To Loretta on the way With the busted radio Still pickin up the lost airwaves And I overturned the stones I found the overtones and quarter tones And I wondered where it was That I'd gone right Is it cool to be aloof? Or better to find One to love?
