lyrics

Stand at Fort Mason, take in the collage
The bridge, the headlands, the pelican pods

Container ships, kite surfers, sailboats and yachts

The creek of the moorings floats up from the docks



Forty-odd hills topped with light pastel frost
Petite Queen Annes and Edwardian facades

Fog fingers drift Eastward in a glissade 

Then the window of sun is curtained and lost



The wind picks up, the cold whips by

Sweeping all warmth away



Headlights flicker on, dusk settles in

There is no reason to stay


Nervous white rabbit looks down at his watch

Wolf howls at the moon, expects a response

Alexander cuts through the Gordian knot

Think about Ahab on the Pequod



Forget for a moment all you’ve been taught

Forget his wife’s vigils on her widow’s walk

Say what you will, he had resolve

He wasn't only punching the clock



No lotus eating or doldrum dreaming

Amid the superficial and the subsurface

Slipped down the ladder, in a holding pattern

I'm sick of existing just to exist



I play close to the vest of an ill fitting suit
In this game of hearts I can’t help but lose
Turn offs include cigarettes and tattoos

Though I’ve made an exception or two



I think I’ve heard almost every excuse

Those I make myself are the most obtuse

I’m no good when it comes to the truth

I’ve fallen out of love with you
