Ginny and Ginger

Harvesting rainbow chard with Phil in the morning
Forgetting all the things that put me here
Walking the promenade infested with strangers 
At the bottom of the hill I disappear

To forget 
To remember
Massachusetts 
Ginny and ginger
Dear new friend
Deer Island
Take me in

With eyelids to the stars
Add mileage to the cars
When does it stop 
And will it end before I want it to?

Singing alone to Christmas music at sunset
Getting lost and burning all my wood 
Haven’t touched the empty glasses she left
To go driving the curvy cold roads of Accord

To forget 
To remember
Massachusetts 
Ginny and ginger
Dear new friend
Deer Island
Take me in

With eyelids to the stars
Add mileage to the cars
When does it stop 
And will it end before I want it to?

You have my loyalty
I will follow where you lead
Ginny and ginger royalty
Joy and merry misery 

Standing like a tree at New Montefiore
Damp eyes dreaming at the corridor
Passing the city lights nervous, excited 
Taking Azul up FDR

With eyelids to the stars
Add mileage to the cars
When does it stop 
And will it end before I want it to?
