Blue Coat, Brass Buttons

from The Wait by St. Peter's Dog

lyrics

Moonlit jasmine ever in bloom
White crosses, white birches, silver spade, silver spoon
Can taste the river on the westward wind
Blue coat, brass buttons, bootleg gin
The road back home is covered in sand
Twenty-odd ways to misunderstand
Such as the freight train takes the light
Over the hill and out of sight
And he leans upon the wings of a bluebird’s song

Juniper, jade and candy moon
White beaches, black desert and 6th avenue
Early to sunset and eager to rise
Blue coat and brass buttons--a careless disguise
Shadowed by the view of an empty plan
Twenty-something ways to misunderstand
Blue and white clover to cover a guess
Mr. left-by-the-water, mrs. almost-instead
Now he leans upon the wings of a bluebird's song
