Walk Me Home

I saw this picture
I had to paint
Take in a moment
And put out a day

Deep amber starlight
Coming from streetlights
Like a Don Henley song
Feeling wrong, feeling blue

Too many men keep
Telling too many lies

I got up and fell back
Too many times
Too many tries

If you could do me
A little favor

I'd be obliged
And more than surprised

Walk me home

Don't teach me philosophy
Don't sing me a song
Don't write me poetry
My walls are papered with poetry

Every man on a mission
Knows a good ode or two

Don't do me no arts and crafts
And I won't do none for you

Can't you just walk me home?
Can't you please take me home

To wherever
You think
Home should be
