The Zenith Sunset

I stayed on the path and under the leaves
Nothing new but a cool cool breeze
The view – a pleasing one
Is it not enough that we both love a setting sun?

Days are long but move too quick
Two years since you finally quit
And pappy's work still rings in my gut
Measure three times and make a clean clean cut

Upon my return I beg of thee
Please lie to me
I need not know what's been going on
My only need is to be

Tell me how to forget what I have learned
Tell me how to forget what I have learned
Tell me please, how to forget what I have learned
I want to see the birds in the trees without thinking of it
And the sun set over cities not your lips

There ain't no pain
No, there ain't no pain
There ain't no pain
No, there ain't no pain
There ain't no question worth it you see
My only need is to be

You bring it on, so just give me one
Give me one good reason to
Put the spoon right back in the ground
And not bore it deep into you
