about

This was released on the tribute album to Dom Leone of Ed's Redeeming Qualities put out in 2002. It was the first thing I released on Two-Ton Santa Records and featured an amazing cast of talented and generous performers including Calexico, Ida, Mark Kozelek and many more.

lyrics

Buck Tempo (Dom Leone)

I don't know the time and I don't know the day
of the week or the month or the year or my name
I don't understand why it seems so important
to be somewhere when you're not sure why you came

I broke my watch when I put up my calendar
I left my map on the roof of my car
I need somebody to make it seem worth it
To search for a light switch or reach for a star

Would you be my clock if I promise not to hang you
Too close to the window or the picture of the Pope
I won't set you back and I won't push you forward
I just want to look in your face and see hope

There's so much to do and so much time to do it
I try hard to concentrate I try hard to think
I got a new oven that cooks food in twelve seconds
Now eating's so quick I've got hours to drink

Time's unpredictable just when you think that
You've learned how to save it you spend all day on hold
I need someone who can show me the difference
Between using it wisely and just growing old

Would you be my clock if I promise not to hang you
Too close to the window or the picture of the Pope
I won't set you back and I won't push you forward
I just want to look in your face and see hope
