These Golden Jewels

I left a black shoe hanging

From a telephone wire

I threw hubcaps in the bushes

Filled the creek with burning tires

I drove circles in the meadow

Threw TVs off a cliff

I scattered dirty needles

In a grassy ditch

Shopping carts of garbage

Overturned in silver ponds

In fields of wild mustard

I abandoned several cars

At the edge of town

These golden jewels

I left them all for you

You, hiding in the falling leaves

And the spider's dew-dropped ring

You, lying in the muddy river

With ten thousand wild wings

I will set the world on fire

Pluck the stars down from the sky

If you will spend with me, my dear

A single summer night

At the edge of town

My golden jewel

I'm waiting here for you
