Into The Meadow

Wondering when I will leave
The big city for good
She's not ready and 
I can't leave without her
Covering the drywall
Where I'm carving a hole
For passage
Into the meadow

Red and black bicycle
I'm fostering from Dan
Since he went to Alaska
Passing the businesses 
Where I once lent a hand
And I'm technically still for hire

To see outside my window
The golden teeth of the cottonwoods
And the stars burning like a torch
And the hours on the screened in porch
Take me into the meadow 

Take me to the ambulance
Put me in a bed
I will be the perfect passenger
Whatever I wanted
I already have
So I'm breathing in
Every single molecule

To see outside my window
The golden teeth of the cottonwoods
And the stars burning like a torch
And the hours on the screened in porch
Take me into the meadow 

Paint the mansions downtown
To try and put some money down
For four walls and a fireplace
For me and you to escape to

Wondering when I will leave
The big city for good
To see the wild blueberries
The crimson and the eagle
The willow where we married
Take me into the meadow
