a heart as big as California

only truth can account for your heart  

a heart as huge as all of california  

as heavy as the sierra nevada  

everyday more settlers arrive  

but your heart can take everyone  

your truth has room for us all

no I don’t keep a god
but yes everyday
I give thanks anyway

wife I wrote your name

just to see it on the page

and I said the prayers

for your health and happiness

together we endured the years

tonight we’ll eat chicken

and play mahjong

and tomorrow? ah, what tomorrow?

there is only tonight

you’ll see

but I have been in the red all my life.”

once again my sleep waits until sunrise

uh-oh   time to rise and shine already
