Song For An Old Friend

The garter snake passed lazily through the tall yellow-headed sourgrass
 There was cold, clear water in a tall, clean glass
 The sunlight hit the sides and it came through the water tilted
 I saw the condensation on your hand
 I could feel the glaciers melting
 And a warm, soft wind
 Covered up everything
 On the day your love came screaming through me
 You had oranges and lemons in a canvas bag beside you
 And seven different kinds of light welling up inside of you
 You smeared citrus pulp all over me, it felt okay
 Good old East Rutherford three thousand miles away
 I felt the warm surge blast my mind
 Coming in from behind
 On the day your love came screaming through me
 In the fresh light of day
 I felt something falling away
 On the day your love came screaming through me
