coldest night of the winterworking up my farewell
in the middle of everythingunder no particular spell
i am dreaming of the mountains where the children learn the stars
clouds roll in from nebraskadark chords on a big guitar
my restlessness is long gonei would stand here like an old jack pine
but I'm looking for rexroth's daughterthe friend of a friend of mine
i can't believe your hands and mouth did all that to me
are so daily naked for all the world to see
that thunderstorm in michigan i never will forget
we shook right with the thunder & with the pounding rain got wet
where did you turn when you turned from me with your arms across your chest
i am looking for rexroth's daughteri saw her in the great northwest
would she have said it was the wrong time if I had found her then
i don't want too mucha field across the road and a few good friends
she used to come & see me but she was always there & gone
even the very longest love does not last too long
she'd stand there in my doorwaysmoothing out her dress
& say "this life is a thump-ripe melon--so sweet and such a mess"
i wanted to get to know you but you said you were shy
i would have followed you anywhere but hello rolled into goodbye
i just stood there watching as you walked along the fence
beware of them that look at you as an experience
you're back out on the highway with your poems of city heat
& I'm looking for rexroth's daughter here on my own side street
the murderer who lived next door seemed like such a normal guy--
if you try to follow what they shove at usyou run out of tears to cry
i heard a man speak quietlyi listened for a while
he spoke from his heart to my woe& then he bowed & smiled
what is real but compassion as we move from birth to death
i am looking for rexroth's daughter& I'm running out of breath
spring will come back i know it will & it will do its best
so usefulso endangeredlike a lion or a breast
i think about my children when i look at any child's face
& pray that we will find a way to get with all this amazing grace
it's so cold out there tonightso stormy i can hardly see
& i'm looking for rexroth's daughter& i guess i always will be
