Came So Easy

(专辑： All Of It Was Mine - 2011)

Just 'cause it came so easy like quiet evenings in my kitchen
Just 'cause it came so easy like little breezes of indecision
Lines of ants came crawling through the cracks there in my tiles
Sat there and I watched them as they pillaged in single file

Just 'cause it came so easy, I was loath to admit it
Just 'cause it came so quickly, I was startled like I had tripped
And I reached out an accusing hand to the treachery of the street
Leaning as though in the wind you helped me to my feet

Your kind words came so easy and I half-winced at the sugar sweetness
Made me feel so wealthy, so I got tongue-tied, I got restless
And I opened my doors and windows to the many creatures of July
Strange cats come in mewling, bugs that crawl and ones that fly
All my flour fell victim to slow and sullen moths
In the heat, we both were gasping, wrapped in dripping cloths

Just 'cause you came so willing, I never made you, I didn't call for you
So sure I was needless, but all the strange things of the dirt are
Obstinately drawn to sweetness, bite through plastic through the masonry
You came uninvited with a jar of your parent's honey
