Andy

[Verse 1]
Andy, do you love me?
Do you think about it, will you say?
Turning brushwood into blazes
Turning summer grass into hay
Turning sharply past the graveyard
To the lakefront with the black waves licking up the stones
To the swayed back screened in front porch
Who could ever stay the weight of flesh and bones?

[Verse 2]
Andy, aren't you tired
From the sun and rain river soaking you?
From the beer cans on your dashboard
And the bullet hole glass spiderweb staining your rear view
I have watched you watch an empty road
Is it only her upon which you all of you is depending?
To fill your twenty-hour work day
While all the fences in this county still need mending?
Hey

[Bridge]
And in the night I do my checking
And fix the broken parts with visions of rare beauty
But in my heart I know I'm second
Forever fixed in your pursuit it is my duty
Hey

[Verse 3]
Andy, will you toss me
A little scrap of something that I can taste?
Instead of dust from all the leaving
And the smell of summer lying here to waste
Under the burnt pyre of all the cast away
The tiny shoots will spring like questions
Will you take me
Out to the fenced hill sprinkled with horses
Wild in resistance to the taming?
Will you break me?
Will you break me?
