"Russel Rd." 5-25-10

Gravel on the pavement,
You're asking me to walk away,
Sleeping in my Willow Tree,
Russel said he'd come today,
Flirting with the branches as you're laying down in melted tar,
Breathing in it's poison,
Who the hell am I to say who you are?


Love me now?

I loved you then...

Saxophone to my ears

Your letters to my lips again

Walking down Russel Rd. with my men

Love me now?

I loved you then...

Your letters to my lips

Lights a candle to my hips again

And I'm walking down Russel Rd. with my men

But I loved you then.


Miles take the best of me and your still reading yellow lines,
Honeysuckle diaries, Borsalino hats, and stop signs
Dust on Russel's car leaves behind a trail of Why's
Willow tree and your house key...
Louisiana's hot in July


You say...
Love me now?

And...

I loved you then...

Saxophone to my ears

Your letters to my lips again

Walking down Russel Rd. with my men

Love me now?

I loved you then...

Your letters to my lips

Lights a candle to my hips again

And I'm walking down Russel Rd. with my men

But I loved you then.

Slow jazz fights the melody,
Eyes dilated to see all that you are,
Lovemenow you say to lonely nights in my Willow Tree,
Russel said he wasn't far ...


So please lovemenow
I loved you then...
Saxophone to my ears
And your letters to my lips again
Walking down Russel Rd. with my men
And I loved you then
So lovemenow
Because I loved you then
And your letters to my lips
Lights a candle to my hips again
As I'm walking down Russel Rd. with my men
My 3 men
But I loved you then...
