Who is much more than a friend, | |
But never by my side? | |
All beginnings are an end, | |
In the blackness there’s a light | |
Maybe you will only read | |
One or two letters at the most | |
Shipping crates might line the streets, | |
Every stranger is a ghost | |
Cashiers won’t deduct the pain, | |
Loneliness sleeps on the couch | |
Only noticing the stain | |
Once the color’s faded out | |
Let’s go camping in the cold, | |
Make a fire, buy a tent | |
Envision leather getting old, | |
Re-send pigeons that were sent | |
Try to memorize your smell, | |
It reminds me of a field | |
Crickets clearer than a bell | |
Have all their guys recast in steel | |
Birds don’t cry when echoes quit, | |
They trail off into the fog | |
Autumn hurts far less than sticks, | |
Knowing winter’s five feet tall | |
Generations of defeat | |
All assuming your the worst | |
They never tied the cans | |
To the back end of a hearse | |
Take your hand against my own, | |
If there’s a finger I can grip | |
Reassure me at the ace | |
Mine’s a black heart you could flip | |
I’ve come to terms with what I have, | |
What’s been given, what’s been asked | |
Turn my back against the sea, | |
And beg the serpent for a dance | |
But in the red dirt muddy towns, | |
Celebration of the dark | |
Children walking hand in hand | |
With the pygmies in the park | |
I can’t touch you only once, | |
You always leave me wanting more | |
So keep my feet within the house, | |
And stick my toes just past the door | |
Let me know when I’m in love, | |
Let me die when I’m in love |
