Someday Some Morning Sometime
Someday some morning sometime, sometime
I'd like to hold your hand in mine
Someday some morning sometime
I'd like to tell you you're pretty and fine
Your face will smile and your eyes will shine
Someday some morning sometime
I'll build you a house all covered in vines
I'll bring you a nickel, I'll bring you a dime,
Someday some morning sometime
Five six seven and eight oh nine
I'll take you down where the birds fly by
Someday some morning sometime
Woody Guthrie, as performed by Wilco

Aside
Measure me in metered lines
And one decisive stare
The time it takes to get from here to there
My ribs that show through t-shirts
And these shoes I got for free
I'm unconsoled
I'm lonely
I am so much better than I used to be
Terrified of telephones
And shopping malls and knives
Drowning in the pools of other lives
Rely a bit too heavily
On alcohol and irony
Get clobbered on by courtesy
In love with love and lousy poetry
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Between past and present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play
But it almost feels okay
Circumnavigate this body
Of wonder and uncertainty
Armed with every precious failure
And amateur cartography
I'm breathing deep before
I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Between past and present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play
But it feels okay
And I'm leaving with goodbye
And I'm losing but I'll try
With the last ways left
To remember to sing
My imperfect offering
The Weakerthans
