All trees are oaks All birds are blue In the mountains of a magnet Are the mountains of you I'm proud of my genius just like a painter And dumb like a poet I think I can just say it from the throats of our wrists With full sets of teeth Vanilla almond teeth From vanilla almond tea spent afternoons measuring time in spoons A southern run for a late longing to drink What's 80 miles in canada or 18 years in the mountains Where all trees are oaks and all birds are blue, ach' do I thought everyone was you Where forget-me-nots and marigolds and other things That don't get old Don't get old between one June and September You're all I remember But I'm a lantern, my head a moon I married a room where I'll at least keep my hands in order And what about the air, lying awake.
