“Ventura” 2018 from vanished gardens
Mr. Lloyd
“I think I’m gonna make myself
A little somethin’ to eat
Get a can down off the shelf
Maybe a little somethin’ sweet
Haven’t spoke to no one
Haven’t been in the mood
Pour some soup, get a spoon
Stir it up real good
I go out with a friend
They know the music might help
But I can’t pretend
I wish I was somewhere else
I wanna watch the ocean bend
The edges of the sun
Then I wanna get swallowed up
In an ocean of love
Put on my coat
Go out into the street
Get a lump in my throat
And look down at my feet
Take the long way home
So I can ride around
Put Neil Young on
And turn up the sound
Drive up the coastline
Maybe Ventura
Watch the waves make signs
Out on the water
I wanna watch the ocean bend
The edges of the sun
Then I wanna get swallowed up
In an ocean of love
Stand in the shower
And clean this dirty mess
Give me back my power
And drown this unholiness
Lean over the toilet bowl
And throw up my confession
Cleanse my soul
Of this hidden obsession
I wanna watch the ocean bend
The edges of the sun
Then I wanna get swallowed up
In an ocean of love
I wanna watch the ocean bend
The edges of the sun
Then I wanna get swallowed up
In an ocean of love”
“Lucinda Williams oceanside lament is buoyed by sonic waves from Charles Lloyd and his aptly named Marvels”
