the dancing lesson

there was a raincloud
then the sunshine
then a rainbow
then i felt time
slip, slip a way

another birthday
another year, lord
another chalk mark
on the chalkboard
and i know i’ll slip away

there was some xanax
there was some bourbon
i watched the rural
blur into the urban
at the speed of sound it slips away

i turned from sleeping
into dreaming
turned from living
back into scheming
and i could feel me slip away

there’s no life vest
there’s no coast guard
the water is soft
and it is not hard
to slip, slip away

there is a buzzing
there is a clatter
always asking me
what is the matter
and so i tried to slip away

i saw a raincloud
i saw sunshine
i saw a rainbow
and i changed my mind
i don’t want to slip away

i saw the sunshine
i saw a raincloud
i heard angels
singing out loud:
child, don’t slip away

and their song it went like this, it went:

hallelujah!
bismillah!
hare krishna!
like a baby crying, “mama
mama, won’t you teach me how to dance”

i felt the rope break
i tried hope
’cause i had exhausted
everything else
and so, please, don’t slip away…
