Some Sunny Day

I never said 

I was more

Than a keyboard Machiavellian.

I never said I was more than

A soft-shoe 

Dancer with my song.

Did I say I saw your song

Eviscerate the river?

I won't forget 

How you stabbed that wrinkled water.

I watched you on the shore

Dance my fingers down

This keyboard.

I saw you eating night

One star at a time. You broke
The chipped plate of the moon.

The crippled hand of dawn
Picked up the pieces, one by one.

I'll be damned if I didn't see Moses

Try to steal your song.

I saw you slice his fingers with your song.

I saw you didn't see 

Johnny Cash pick your pocket

And hock your song.

He got five dollars for your song.

Damn, Girl, 

Stop flashing that song

You keep in that ankle-sheath

But don’t know

Yet how to sing

Some sunny day

For me.
