lyrics

Lying in my room because the crew got rained off once again,
Lit my first and ran outside and hit the creek with pad and pen,
Couldn't really tell you why I had to go but Anna I will try,
See the orange autumn leaves fall on the water,
Every day I need a portion of disorder,
Afternoons with Anna on a rafter on a river drifting by,

Tell the bluebottles summer has gone,
The fall came fast, it followed hard upon,
Worms with legs are creeping below,
See the sunken river weeds bow,

Jill jumps her souped-up mustang with her lawn tractor,
Grab my Bowie knife and cigarettes and Baxter,
Maybe I could read The Art of War a third time under a cloudy sky,
Couldn't really tell you why I had to go but Anna I will try,
Afternoons with Anna on a rafter on a river drifting by,

On his back one pale eel glides,
Into the whirlpool, swimming to the tide,
Underneath the cold water lie,
Soles in shimmering face outlines,

Soon a man comes with a spear and with a steady hand he waits,
While his children sit up on the bank and thaw the frozen bait,
Couldn't really tell you why I had to go but Anna I will try,
Afternoons with Anna on a rafter on a river drifting by,
