Hey yo pass that whipped cream I'm about to eat some humble pie Spilling words from the heart can be hard for a guy But the blood, bruises and beauty of past relationships Are demanding a voice and a place and it fits, so Come with me I'll take you back to New York City Me, fresh outta school, and she, into her thirties Wise, mature and honest, she'd survived some dark times I was just a kid, with no idea what made her shine I took her to every fancy place I could find Loving her whimsical beauty stretching out my narrow mind An artist she showed me how muse can flow, including the strife My first teacher, she opened up my spiritual life But man I was young and didn't know what I truly wanted And what's more, I didn't know I didn't know what I wanted It's hard to be honest when you don't know what you need I couldn't meet her when it counted, my love turned to greed And so I hurt her real deep, and for that I am so sorry I wish I could of done right by her heart and her body The pain dulls with time, I'm sure that's true for her too Nostalgic for the moments of being seen, and seeing you It's been years but I still love her, strange as that sounds Think of her when it's sunny and windy, recall those coffee grounds She believed in magic before I ever had that in me It's because of her I've come to be someone I want to be Now skip a coast and find me living in Santa Cruz My spiritual life growing roots straight through my shoes With dirt on her boots one day she appeared, long brown hair In a bun, by her eyes lines of grace and despair Her body of Earth, like she grew up through that soil Dreams mixing with hard rocks, the truth and the toil At times few words spoke, but she could light up a room And beautiful voice, with fingers that could bring in a tune She was pretty funny I have to say we laughed so much We kept a holy place for silliness, an altar, not a crutch It's so needed when the world's in so much pain She laid bare for me the suffering of poor people, honest and plain She gave herself to justice, both within and without Woke my ass up from privileged sleepwalking, that's without a doubt Entered the koan of how to hold both the light and dark Sent me on a new path for how I want to leave my mark She was older too, a near decade kept us apart From desires aligning in time, we had a hint from the start Again I fell short of knowing what mattered most to me Staring me in the face, couldn't let myself see it wasn't meant to be I wish I'd known that deep courage, and even deeper trust We'd been grown together, when hard truth was a must Denying the depth of my own spiritual longing didn't help I'm sorry for the ways I let you down, and so hope that you're well There's another one, but feels just too tender to touch I hope someday I can tell her I still love her so much Till then I'll find ways to hold the pain and love from afar Trust in something greater and know they're good wherever they are Dear Lord, Dear Lord Help me love better Cuz I need help, I need help And I ain't gonna stop loving No way No way, no way, no way That's right
