lyrics

‘13, Ear Candy, “Hi(gh)” Missoula. Brought voice and left that tape deck in car. Ears in stacks, floor of smiles and hearts. No way, one way! Songs don’t end, they start.

“A place to stay?” “Thanks!” And you say: “Can sleep now.” “No, I’d rather follow.” To a friend’s house for your stick and poke. Where many had gathered from the show. Drank (tails) tales of bears and peaks till I dozed. Then crossed the Clark Fork in pre-dawn glow.

Snagged four hours sleep in a perch Atlantic. Three floors above store: “We buy anything.” Morning you took me to roof for a wow!: Downtown surrounded by yellow mountains.

“Goodbye” then onto Peaceful Valley, where music sparked connect again! Missoula friend…gone sea level? As with many, begin then we drift. With some, tried renew after one meet. No reply. Don’t recall? Passed expiry?

(Ellipsis) Ellipses running since ’96; passengers picked up along the way. Most friends, I’ll -- never see again! No repeat required for love to stay.

Memory’s a game where we’re all winners! One proven way to live forever! A time machine, more needed than ever. Travel back and wish I could stay there.

Summer ‘21, again I’m roaming free. See old friends, some stops, but mostly the trails and me, memory-making. Against last year, feels normal to me. Except what I foresee when season’s ceased: Crushing monotony, dead plans haunting.

What town could stand burden of used to be?
Perhaps solution: eternal motion.

Home can be on the slopes of Tahoma. Till wherever next day brings me forward. Memories follow me toward the sun. Where we stop maybe has no answer.

Desert, tropics…form a power chord. Neither’s louder.
Hear them calling now.
