Here is the bird that never flew
Here is the tree that never grew
Here is the bell that never rang
Here is the fish that never swam
Here is the lock that never gave
Here is conviction, never caved
Here are the bridges never burned
Here is the woman, never returned
Here is the coin never spent
Here is the message never sent
Here is the specimen, never discarded
Here are the doctors, broken-hearted
Here is the action never taken
Here is resolve, never shaken
Here is the watch that was never wound
Here is the guard, never down
Here is the flower that never blossomed
Here are the foxes (we never saw them)
Here is the blood that was never cold
Here are the words unsaid
Swallowed
Here is the field never plowed
Here is the want, never allowed
Here is the pen that was never dry
And here, and here
And close, and wide
And on and on
The fallen fruit
The forgotten song

pokeberry bittersweet nightshade and jimson weed
their fruits roots and berries are sometimes eaten by mistake
the daffodil is a wild flower
the dandelion is a weed
the bluebell is a pretty flower
the holly is a prickly tree
wheat once did grow wild as apples
some people are poisoned more easily than others
the bluebell is a pretty flower
the holly is a prickly tree
seaweed grows in the ocean
it grows in a funny kind of way
wheat once did grow wild as apples
some people are poisoned more easily than others
we once did grow wild as apples
some poisonous plants are very helpful
fly angel death angel fly angel death angel fly
pokeberry bittersweet nightshade and jimson weed
are sometimes eaten by mistake
I could eat you by mistake
like I could eat turkish delight
I could eat delight.

this is how things get over
not with a bang but with a whimper
lover hater hater lover
lover hater hater lover
this is how things get better
hold your breath and wait for summer
lover hater hater lover
lover hater hater lover
where is the best thing now?
I guess I put it in the ground
I will carve a record out for you
out of a solid block of vinyl
I will carve it like they used to
with a hammer and a chisel and a rifle
I will make a record just for you
I will make it like the old days
just as good as I can do
with an ugly concentration on my face
absence makes the heart grow fonder
so stay away a little longer
lover hater hater lover
lover hater hater lover
is this how things get better?
should I give you back your sweater?
lover hater hater lover
lover hater hater lover
where is the best thing now?
I guess I put it in the ground
I will carve a record out for you
out of a solid block of vinyl
I will carve it like they used to
with a hammer and a chisel and a rifle
I will make a record just for you
I will make it like the old days
just as good as I can do
I will put everything back
into its place

you put the lamp out
lie in the cool quiet
only sleep is in a hurry she has fallen on the dogs and monkey
it’s no use kicking it’s no use kicking
time slips by
quick and smooth
it is morning it is noon it is night it is nearly midsummer
the parch is on the earth
I am not glad, I am not sorry
you wonder where you are going and what you are going to see
the birds are bursting their throats
instinct bids them carry on carry on carry on carry on carry on
it’s no use kicking
light and dark chase each other
the silence is full of sound the green is full of colour
here is a picture and there another
I am not glad I am not sorry
it’s a clear keen morning, the wind is on the sing
I am not glad I am not sorry
you wonder where you are going and what you are going to see
I am not glad, I am not sorry
Darest thou now, o soul
walk out with me toward the unknown region
where neither ground is for the feet nor any path to follow
