Salton Sea

Friday comes with eyes ablaze Burns a hole through Saturday Sunday comes and goes so fast Monday crawls on broken glass I don't know why, but I can't leave This shallow hole that was dug for me This reservoir of dried out dreams This town beside the Salton Sea I kissed you under April stars You loved me with a heart on fire A young man's heart beats just as fast And runs as quick as candle wax I think sometimes on how we met How love came, and how it went I left you with a life caved in Then you left me in the poison wind She found me in the Bombay Bar Didn't have to seach too far Told me I'm some kind of father The Salton Sea's some kind of water I asked her to sit with me She crossed her legs and sipped her tea Looked around with your brown eyes Nodded once and said goodbye Friday comes with eyes ablaze Burns a hole through Saturday All around me things recede Reminds me who I used to be All around me things recede In this town beside the Salton sea
