LumberJack Love - Calm.

If I could I’d buy you a sofa

If I was famous, I’d give you all my money and a signed poster

My love is like a lumberjack, big, burly, nothing like me, except he owns an ax He eats flapjacks and daily smokes 3 packs, but lately his boss told him to relax

He said hang up the overalls go home and shave

He looked down at the soil and saw it in 2 ways

The place where plants grow and future home of his grave

Either way he respected and despised both

He never knew what love was but been divorced 3 times

Now solitude is asking «will you marry me?»

But like every relationship, he just can’t and can’t stop saw dusting cherry

trees

Mammals cry, humans blush and berries bleed

Blood is juice our organs are decisions are seed

His life is a garden, our friends are greed, our friends are water,

our friends are weeds

The governments a gardener

He pimps for profit and makes money off of shovels and hoes

His drugs are pesticides that kill the good and the bad

Either way the products tainted, the ax hits the ground covered in blood

Lumberjack love, the masterpiece is painted

It takes 40 whacks to take down a tree, it takes one word to take down me

I’m holding an ax in the forest of love, looking for a tree

She loves me too, but I’m always making up suspicions of her cheating on me We get along but attachments a bulldozer and my blades left too many birds

homeless

My ax is my only friend but when I’m not in Denver,

I’m throwing up from the homesick

I love her, she’s sharp, sturdy, not too wordy

But whenever she’s not around, I miss her and start to worry

I’m no magician I never had enough magic to cut a tree hugger in half

So all I can do is admire their worthless passion, wait till they leave and

laugh

I chop down homes and I’ll chop down my own

I chop down happiness, I chop down nests

I chop down redwoods, I’ve chopped down the best

I chop down trees, I’m a lumberjack

I follow orders, if it was in my job description, I’d chop down me A tree has no funeral and neither do relationships

Every night I see your lips and we kiss

Then I wake up alone with your fragrance still tasting it I got good memories but I always think about the bad,

taking my time and wasting it It takes 40 whacks to take down a tree, except for this time it started to fall towards me I threw her down and ran from the splintered tentacles

It took 'that time but she came and gave me the 40th straight to my ventricles

It goes, chop down forest, make it a log

Turn it to paper, then send it to the nearest skyscraper

No 2 things ever seem to like each other, cause when one likes another

The other doesn’t seem to want to be it’s lover

Its okay, go along and find some other handsome man

I’d find someone I can use and someday put into my grandson’s hand

The drops the palate and falls into the canvas, doesn’t even know he fainted

The ax hits the ground covered in love

Lumberjack blood, the masterpiece is painted

We chop down the trees, I never gave her a ring, she never gave me a ring

So I guess it didn’t mean a thing

Now we’re both stumped, living out our trunks

Baby relax, put down your ax I gotta go plant some trees, please wait for me, please

It takes 40 whacks to take down a tree, it takes one word to take down me My ax took an ax and gave me 40 whacks

When she saw what she had done she gave me 41

It takes 40 whacks to take down a tree, it takes one word to take down me By the time they saw dusk, all they saw was saw dust
