I know you don’t
Mean to cause any harm
But d’you know what she’d be
With you on her arm
And I can see the wasteland
Desert too
All because she
Is alienated from you
And the word never matches
The thread never files
We’ve neither of us
Seen you in a while
And I don’t know what words
Have been put into your mouth
But what’s coming through
Is something I can’t doubt
And we’re able to lift
We’re able to marry
We’re long past the age
It would take it to carry
And I know that embed
Takes root in a dream
And I don’t want to be
Just what it may seem
And I’m scared that I
Will lose her by the coast
She’s picking up sand
And looks like a ghost
And I can’t say that I
Am anything new
I fumble the rumble
And don’t know what to do
Coz I want to stand up
To all that’s real and fresh
It’s just that I
Haven’t seen your equal yet
And you’ve got trouble
But it’s also pizazz
I wouldn’t change you
Just leave it as
It already is
As I stifle a sigh
This is just love
And a long goodbye
Out in the ocean
As dry as a cork
Do you eat with your hands
Or use a fork
Cause we’re so civilized
In the way that we hurt
But our roots are in soil
And they’re digging up dirt
Like a lone
Call into the wind
I look up and
The vane, it spinned
