The Brave Ones

Spend my days eating peaches in the sand

Ain't no better way

To occupy this tiny space I've been given

Between the sun and the land

Heard the oxen braying

You know, the pretty ones

Who yearn to be a man

I said

Well it is not half bad

You know

Despite zero defenses from the cold

We'll be The Brave Ones

And thrive out of earshot of what was

Fell into a depression in your hand

A pilgrim's palmistry

The arc of heart and head and crow's feet aside

I'd never been somebody's ICE

Give you little kisses

Until the fishes come

And learn to rule the land

Honey, well it is not that bad

You know

Despite our greatest efforts, we get old

We'll make depraved love

I have a geisha in my lung

We'll be The Brave Ones

Monday come and you shave my head again

That old domestic rite

An orbit and a new babooshka arrive

A century of silence gone by

Little Julia

I'll take you fishing by

The reservoir some time

Your brother, your cousins, some peaches and my

The dream of love will happen in the snow

We'll be The Brave Ones

We'll be The Brave Ones

We'll be The Brave Ones

We'll be The Brave Ones
