lyrics

Beech trees, oaks and maples
a one hundred year lease
on goldenrod milkweed and thistles
and a vintage Shasta trailer

Scabby apple trees
a gnarled old winter pear
hived-off honey bees
black caps and june berries

I'm lounging in a cedar chair
on a crooked porch
it's lunchtime, I'm eating a sandwich
I made myself

With bread I baked myself
lettuce I grew myself
corned-beef I brined myself
and a bottle of beer I brewed myself

I'm sorry, that I can't live with you
sorrier that I can live without you
simplicity, won't you visit me

Azaleas, dogwoods and rhodies
a fixed rate 30 year mortgage
on fescue sod, quack grass and dandelions
and a brand new heat exchanger

Coffee's burnt, computers on the fritz
the boys want the sound card fixed
tried to clean the garage and made it worse
basement's hell-on-earth, the plumbing's a curse

I'm slouching in a folding chair
on a cement porch
it's lunchtime, I'm ignoring a sandwich
you bought yourself

Wrapped in plastic you unwrapped yourself
with lettuce that's still crunchy somehow
roast beef you hope won't give me mad cow
and a can of beer you cracked for me

I'm sorry, you can't live without me
sorrier that you can, live with me
simplicity why'd you leave me

Daniel Heila & Daniel Boone's Fault Eugene, Oregon

Podunk expat living in Oregon trying to remember to put the chickens in and the cats out at night. Will the woodshed ever get built? I wonder. Somewhere between family and fortune is a bit of quiet space where I get a song written now and then.
