stand still staring at treetops flailing
as soft drops drift down the sloped top
of a tent with broken bones
braced with branches
moonlight shines right through
as sleep fails to find us
I can't think of a better way
to end this summer
if it only drifts when we perceive it
then the aching hands rest on your shoulders
so sit still and soak it in
as the day awakens
we sit and take in
this landscape we've laid in all night
late in the morning
rainclouds are forming
my last summer is over
I'm another year older
if it only drifts when we perceive it
then the aching hands rest on your shoulders
so sit still and soak it in
rooftops have a way of reassuring me
that everything will be alright
cast in the soft light of a city
I've known for quite some time now
I'll be just fine now
and I thought I knew it then
but I know I know it now
I'll always remember
the endless days into the hazy nights
where we'd sit on the porch
of the house on the corner
of lexington and sibley
drinking whiskey
as little ghosts floating through the night
and I thought I knew it then
but I know I know it now
I'll always remember
the unblemished surface
assures you no one's wandered
quite this far
so you sink in
and after thinking
you implore yourself to speak for once
eternity stills
eternity stumbles
I still stumble
over words I cannot say
it just takes time to give
meaning to the sound
time to make it real
but if you don't fuck up
what are you anyway?
eternity stills
eternity stumbles
I still stumble
over words I cannot say
and in a sharp hesitant breath
time falters and flattens
each word deliberate
each word between:
coiled brittle tense and tattered
between the silence
there's too much to say
it appears that even my words
are frightened of the day
suddenly you look up to find
yourself somewhere new
watching your coffee
release its heat into the room
between the silence
there's too much to say
it appears that even my words
are frightened of the day
