1
Thinking outrageously I write in cursive
2
I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor
3
Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers
4
I see my own breath on the face of the door
5
Oh I am not quite sleeping
6
Oh I am fast in bed
7
There on the wall in the bedroom creeping
8
I see a wasp with her wings outstretched
9
North of Savanna we swim in the palisades
10
I come out wearing my brother's red hat
11
There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times
12
He runs washing his face in his hands
13
Oh how I meant to tease him
14
Oh how I meant no harm
15
Touching his back with my hand I kiss him
16
I see the wasp on the length of my arm
17
Oh great sights upon this state, Hallelujah
18
Wonders bright and rivers, lake, Hallelujah
19
Trail of Tears and Horseshoe Lake, Hallelujah
20
Trusting things beyond mistake, Hallelujah
21
We were in love
22
We were in love
23
Palisades, Palisades
24
I can wait, I can wait
25
Lamb of God, we sound the horn, Hallelujah
26
To us your ghost is born, Hallelujah
27
I can't explain the state that I'm in
28
The state of my heart, he was my best friend
29
Into the car from the back seat
30
Oh admiration in falling asleep
31
All of my powers, day after day
32
I can tell you, we swaggered and swayed
33
Deep in the tower, the prairies below
34
I can tell you, the telling gets old
35
Terrible sting and terrible storm
36
I can tell you the day we were born
37
My friend is gone, he ran away
38
I can tell you, I love him each day
39
Though we have sparred, wrestled and raged
40
I can tell you I love him each day
41
Terrible sting, terrible storm
42
I can tell you
