cricket blue – straw boy كلمات اغاني

and i haven’t told our friends a thing, still sacked out on the floor
fog is on the pitch pines when i sneak out to the sh-r-
i bring your ruthless letter, and i like the way it ends:
care less for humankind — worry more about your friends
the sun is strong on a straw boy
and shame burns even in the shade
would you look at the mess i’ve made!

i’d just been dumped in dublin. i returned a lady’s glove
and i summoned up for trial my illusions about love
i did some dire songs to set my evidence in place
and, when someone kissed me lazily, said: miss, i rest my case
her arms were tangled for a straw boy
she’d learned to never feel afraid
(said so on her shoulder blade.)

with my sick and famous lover, i won’t say that i was kind
she gave me gruesome poems that still jangle in my mind
i learned some ocean creatures must swim constantly to breathe
and she couldn’t let me in, but she wouldn’t make me leave
she pushed a pin into a straw boy
as misbegotten music played
for us, in retrograde

come fall, i’ll fly to san francisco; there’s a girl in a white cloche hat
she skims me like a catalog, and i like her most for that
her pen spins like a comp-ss back to sadness, for a dare
that last time that i met her, she was barely even there
she hums her blues to a straw boy;
her colors, vividly displayed
all set to run and fade

and so, with buried feet, i watch the sun and ocean mist
engulfing crowds of people that do not know you exist
as flocking gulls come inland, swoop, and spy the wild corn king
who once knew where he stood — now, he doesn’t know a thing
the seasons are hard on a straw boy
