lyrics
Fall in step across the globe and somehow I feel the
Cobblestones buck through my sneakers,
And you, the sand between your toes.
The tune in your head, I'm composing.
Some idea you meant for me, sent to me, or did we dream it?
Print your pages, sign your name,
In some manner I'll do the same
In splinters, notes and paper clippings.
We punctuate the space between our breaths, and
We're refining our dialects lately.
Ever notice the way we say
"Yesterday" differently?
Pride arrives bittersweet
Some for you, some for me
Greedy distance between
Draws on blood that links our brains and bodies.
What is the where?
There's the mystery, children.
Where is the when?
Then you'll know.
When is the how?
Pose those sweet wee secrets.
How a goodbye?
You know why.
There's no lesson to learn, but only
Pray the present is kind to us.
Twins and twisters
Sacred sinners,
Thrashing out a rhythm of grief and bliss on
Bone-tired backs and battered fingers,
We're happier than ever and nursing sadness.
I'll be here when you're ready, lady.
Lie in wait 'til the fates allow
Then and now
Listen for me.
