The Herbalist

I was whispering down at 6th and Comal when I ran into Hannah
and we fell into last call.
She said, "well, I barely know you but my memory is clean
and the band's still playing. We can leave without making a scene.
So we don't go home empty handed,
if you know what I mean.
Go home empty handed
with our memories clean.
Go home empty handed
like some kind of unrented limousine."
So we wandered through the door and into the road
and I said, "If you like I can sing you every song that I know."
She said, "sing me 'you'll marry a famous architect
but me, I'm going back to school to become an herbalist.'
So we don't go home empty handed,
if you know what I mean.
Go home empty handed
with our memories clean.
Go home empty handed
like some kind of unrented limousine."

Intentions

Last night, surprised when Rachael came
to our new house, I went down on her on the spare room floor.
I could see you looking in.
I could feel your feet against the crack in the door.
You should not be surprised.
You know she has those Bette Davis eyes.
You told her, “dear, you’re always welcome here,
a faded photograph we held as a souvenir.
I’m always willing to lend an ear, sometimes a lover
here and there.”
You should not be surprised.
You know she has those Bette Davis eyes.
We kissed against the driver door
of your car out in the parking lot of your favorite bar.
You told me we should both go home.
I guess we talked too much about our intentions before.
