Song For Mark And Joel

i opened up the window and the cold air came in.
 and i saw a bird on a branch outside
 that i had never seen before.
 he looked a robin, but it had an upside down v-shaped
 red mark on its chest.
 and i had a special feeling in my mind
 and i had a special feeling in my mind
 i had a certain glint in my eye,
 on the morning trouble came by.
 there was a map of the american-midwest on one wall.
 and there was a map of the american-west on another wall.
 and there was a map of rome on the third wall.
 and there were maps in all direrctions.
 i was looking at them pondering connections
 when trouble came by.
 then i stuck my head out the window.
 i had to stick my head out the window.
 it was much colder than i'd imagined it would be.
 it was much much colder than i'd imagined it would be.
 it was much much colder.
 it was much much colder and trouble came by.
