"it's so beautiful here," she says, |
| [00:05.47] |
"this moment now and this moment, now." |
| [00:13.80] |
and i never thought i would find her here: |
| [00:20.11] |
flannel and satin, my four walls transformed. |
| [00:27.51] |
but she's looking at me, straight to center, |
| [00:32.89] |
no room at all for any other thought. |
| [00:39.36] |
and i know i don't want this, oh, i swear i don't want this. |
| [00:47.82] |
there's a reason not to want this but i forgot. |
| [01:01.16] |
in the terminal she sleeps on my shoulder, |
| [01:06.08] |
hair falling forward, mouth all askew. |
| [01:12.97] |
fluorescent announcements beat their wings overhead: |
| [01:18.47] |
"passengers missing, we're looking for you." |
| [01:24.64] |
and she dreams through the noise, her weight against me, |
| [01:29.91] |
face pressed into the corduroy grooves. |
| [01:36.21] |
maybe it means nothing, maybe it means nothing, |
| [01:44.23] |
maybe it means nothing, but i'm afraid to move. |
| [02:14.46] |
and the words: they're everything and nothing. |
| [02:19.13] |
i want to search for her in the offhand remarks. |
| [02:23.64] |
who are you, taking coffee, no sugar? |
| [02:30.77] |
who are you, echoing street signs? |
| [02:36.00] |
who are you, the stranger in the shell of a lover, |
| [02:42.22] |
dark curtains drawn by the passage of time? |
| [02:48.08] |
oh, words, like rain, how sweet the sound. |
| [02:58.64] |
"well anyway," she says, "i'll see you around..." |
