Made of Days (2001)
By James Moats in Asheville, NC
it's a long way to have to goto complete a thought
we'll mull it over until the edges are round
but it seems our only hope
it's beautiful but it will gouge your eyes out
before the morning haze burns away
there are some things at a price so high
you can never get as much as you pay
time
were throwing it away
it's a little secret
that the years are made of days
it's never what it seems to be
you only see what you want to see
coffee shops and record stores
sidewalk cafes and herbal healing
superficial is the only word that comes into my mind
it's never what it seems to be
just take a step back and you will see
this sudden clarity
brings hope of things that will someday be
this town is made of two-sided tape
well it is a stretch i know
running away won't change anything
this town is a two-edged blade
