Texas Reznikoff

It’s beautiful out today
I wish you could take me upstate
To the little place you would tell me about
When you’d sense that I’d want to escape

Texas is a land-locked state
It’s a little bit far away
From the water, from the home that I’ve wanted to make
It somehow, in the city, you make it there and you make it
Anywhere, anywhere
But i’ve been anywhere and it’s not what I want
I wanna be still with you

You keep your socks on in bed
Keep our hearth warm
“See the trees’ shadows lie in black pools in the lawns”
You’re the breeze in my Austin nights
You’re the breeze in my Austin nights
You’re the breeze in my Austin nights
