Oliver Sweet Kindness
You ask me now
Am I glad or touched by sorrow
But the knowing of the going
Makes me neither
The wire is humming
With a heavy steady drumming
And it's time I changed my cap
And played the driver
For the blood of changin'
Pounds through the veins
Of a hot round trippin' highway
I'll see you next time
There's no need to say goodbye, though
'Cause I know I'll pass sweet kindness once again
Kiss my face at midnight
I'm a strictly darktime stalker
I'll at daybreak catch the city changin' clothes
Sleep by sun
Work by moon
For a season, maybe longer
Then return to touch sweet kindness like a rose
For the blood of changin'
Pounds through the veins
Of a hot round trippin' highway
Welcome, brother
Have a drink on me
Would some coffee do instead?
Can't you keep your eyes open
Just a little while longer
And someone'll take you to bed
I'll call you friend
And I'll call this home
'Cause this is where I've come
And this is where I'm bound to stay
'Til the wire begins to hum
To hum
Then once again
Take the circle to sweet kindness
Yes, I'm back to hold sweet kindness once again
Once again
