So I traveled far to Boston, With that suitcase on the plane, And I looked up a professor, I said "teach me my real name!" And he said "no, no . . . I don’t have the words to teach you." So I drove to California, With that suitcase in my car, And I found the wisest doctor, I said, "doctor, help me sir!" And he said "no, no, no, no, no . . . I don’t have a pill to fix you." So I ran up to Montana, With that suitcase on my back, And I found the last live poet I said, "show me what I lack!" And he said "no, no, no, no, no, no, no . . ." This is not a song to heal you." Holy Heart So I walked to Arizona, Searching for my oldest friend, I said "friend, I’m getting tired Could you hold me till the end?" But he had a job, and a car, and a wife, To start a family of his own And I don’t know who could blame him But it shook me to my bones When he said "no." He said "no . . . I don’t have the time to hold you." Holy Heart So I crawled back to Wisconsin, Trying to find a piece of home, And I walked up to my pastor I said "God, I’m so alone!" He said "well have you been praying the way that we pray? And have you been going the places we go?" I said "no." And he said "no, no, no, no, no, no, no This is not a home to house you." Holy Heart So I flew right up to heaven, With that suitcase left behind, And I walked those streets of gold, Until I looked God in the eye, He said "son, you’re looking tired, But there’s one more thing to ask . . . Do you believe in what you’re preaching? That the first will be the last?" And I said "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah . . . Everything I’ve done has been for you!" Holy Heart

Meeting a friend on a rainy weekends For one cup of coffee and conversation That's a hard, hard thing When most of the things that you admire Are wrapped up in light and stuffed inside her Beneath soft, soft skin I have loved your shadow I have loved your air Even if you leave me I will love you there Speaking aloud our deep desires Dragging the hidden things up higher Its a cold, cold fear Cuz why waste our time on foolish dreaming, When both of us know Im always leaving From this warm, warm year? Then you spoke it. I don't think it slipped out. (I should know when it does!) The room was shaking, suffocating I was all alone I have loved your shadow, I have loved your air Even if you leave me I will love you there I wanted to ask if you were happy I wanted to hear that you could not be I have loved your shadow I have loved you air Even if you leave me I will love you there

I was a radio, could you believe it? You were a frequency that never came in quite right I added an antenna to try and achieve it But you are a secret, secret girl Love is a slippery slope and I am a slider You were a concrete wall—built at the bottom I thought I would break right through or maybe go higher But you are a secret, secret girl You are a secret, secret girl Love is a robins egg next to your sandal If you took just one step you'd smush all my guts out Oh what a friendly friend turned into a vandal Cuz you are a secret, secret girl You are a secret, a secret, secret girl I was afraid, I was afraid I was afraid of letting go I should let go, I should let go I should get go of what ain't mine What is not mine, what is not mine, What is not mine is everything! Everything, everything, Everything you touch turns cold Everything is cold, Everything is cold, Everything is cold, Everything is . . . You were a cigarette at rest on my soft lips With every draw I took it was giving me cancer But it's pretty hard to quit when you gotz a habit For such a secret, secret girl And you are a secret, secret girl I was afraid, I was afraid I was afraid of letting go I should let go, I should let go I should let go of what ain't mine What is not mine, what is not mine, What is not mine is everything Everything, everything, Everything you touch turns cold Everything is cold Everything is cold Everything is cold

Black lung—the darkness looks like rain Tree top to flowers grown and green Speak clear, their children are the same Though language denies it Skylight, too dusty to see The sky or light in front of me Alone is not the only thing Worth crying a tear There is a hole in the sky There is a hole in the sky There is a hole in the sky There is a hole in the sky We are all rising
