EASE MY MIND, CALM MY HEART

a twelve-hour drive ought to clear my mind

gonna burn my paycheck to see you

through the warm desert breeze where the buffalo breathe

restless in their graves from the struggle

my father made me think that maybe love was extinct

but now i'm hot on the trail and i am gaining

i see the ghosts of the trees and the gasoline e's

and the smile on the moon that is waning

honey, if you please, won't you ease my mind

have i gone to far, are we just killing time

honey, if you please, won't you ease these troubles of mine

lord, with a psalm, won't you calm my heart

is this thing called love now a long lost art

lord, with a psalm, won't you calm my aching heart

the albuquerque snow through an old window

god you make it sound so appealing

and does time slow down in the mid-west town

baby if it does i'm never leaving

i lost my head the minute you said

you would never tire of my calling

and it's hard to explain in a single refrain

exactly how hard i'm falling
