Miles Run the Daffodil Down
Paul Curreri

Miles run the daffodil downnAnd out across the hillside now --nFind you there a bucket wellnWith wishes tossed inside.nAnd inside them wishes, you gonna find that blues,nAnd inside blues: you gonna find the darknThat somehow slithered quietlynInto my happy art.nnSo here's what happened:nI went walkin with my heart stuck outnWith Lonnie Johnson’s I Found a Dream stuck in my mouth --nThe moon was low, and the mountain clouds.nI was whistling about my Lady,nAnd of her slender hands and her slender face,nAnd how she woo’d my slender frame.nBut my heart was out, and a headwind camenAnd blew me right off course.nnSee, I was thinking of her in terms of me.nThat’s like thinking of birds in terms of bees!nOr is more like thinking of pianos in terms of keys?nWhatever it is, it ain’t right.nBut to lay these blues down on my path?nThat ain’t right either; I do know that.nI’m a petty thief who got the murderer rap,nJust bars and bars and bars. nnMiles run the daffodil downnAnd out across the hillside now --nFind you there a bucket wellnWith wishes tossed inside.nAnd inside them wishes, you gonna find that blues,nAnd inside blues: you gonna find the darknThat somehow slithered quietlynInto my happy art.nnThis is making me dizzy, complain complain!nMy record is broked -- again, skip, again, skip, again.nIf I mistaked once, I mistaked ten.nBut what was that about glass houses?nWe can talk of America till the cows come home,nThen we can talk of cows till the mountains fall,nThen we can talk of mountains, but goddammit all,nNow I'm talkin about my lady again. nnMiles run the daffodil downnAnd out across the hillside now --nFind you there a bucket wellnWith wishes tossed inside.nAnd inside them wishes, you gonna find that blues,nAnd inside blues: you gonna find the darknThat somehow slithered quietlynInto my happy art.nnI might be more Virginia than I am New York,nBut I’m more rococo than Fragonard --nDecorative whiskey, ornate heart --nMan, that shit gets me in trouble.nWell, I say we set the record straight,nI say we say what we want, what do ya say?nWho me? What do I want?nI want all y’all lookin at me just this waynEspecially you, my sweetheart. nnI said miles run the daffodil downnAnd out across that hillside now --nFind you there a bucket wellnWith wishes tossed inside.nAnd in a little bit inside them wishes, you gonna find that blues,nIn the blues: you gonna find the darknThat somehow slithered quietlynInto my happy art.
