about

For Jubal Stedman.

lyrics

You're naked as a shipwreck and I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to love you, or how to make it through
all these twists and turns that carry me to meet your ghost,
spreading like a fire on the Resurrection Coast.

My dreams don't fit within me. There's no room inside my head.
My head just swims within them, and within them all my dead
line up, somehow, to greet me, yeah - to beg or brag or boast.
You just smile softly on the Resurrection Coast.

We walked through all the shallows. We sailed on the deep.
We sewed ourselves new shadows when the old ones took the leap
down into the bottom or up to the Lord of Hosts.
My words are lost in sea-foam on the Resurrection Coast.

The lost, the lame, the lingering are waiting at my door.
I prepare to welcome them - them and just one more:
no lost soul, no weeping shade, a well-traveled friend at most
waiting somewhere for me on the Resurrection Coast.
