Joan Didion

Heaven sent it on a line
Velvet room your silver eyes
You're so pretty I could cry
All the hours wasting time

Road like black glass
Heavy scent
Ponderosa till sunset
Hanging Red Rock drifting west
Tell me you like me best

And I'll run, I'll run

Dream me in ribbons
Till all is forgiven
I saw, I saw

Heaven sent it all in bloom
Apple's float in swimming pools
All the wonder, all the need
As the film warps in the heat

And I'll run

Is it a sanctum or a tomb
That purple velvet living room?
And when the party's fallen out
Am I the one you think about?

Did you unravel as befits
A Joan Didion protagonist?
Tell me that you're undeterred
And I'll pretend it didn't hurt

And I'll run
