|
How much time did I take |
|
How much time did I wait |
|
Why did you have to come so late |
|
The spot was empty |
|
It hurt beyond reason |
|
A board was loose |
|
And screeched like a bird |
|
The air was heavy |
|
And reeked of treason |
|
Of things left hanging |
|
There without a word |
|
Six after six |
|
Seven after seven |
|
Speak no more |
|
You will be forgiven |
|
A tumbleweed of odours |
|
Caught in a limbo |
|
The man at the door |
|
His arms akimbo |
|
And all the others |
|
With tiny little eyes |
|
Swift like tads |
|
Nervous like flies |
|
Six after six |
|
Seven after seven |
|
Speak no more |
|
You will be forgiven |
|
Taiwanese rain slid along the walls |
|
A warm shower to keep me cold |
|
Drenched in sweat and holy water |
|
I waited for you and your heart of gold |
|
But my own heart |
|
Ticked along with my clock |
|
And the pit-pat |
|
Of rain on my skin |
|
I could hear his shoes |
|
They were soaking wet |
|
And he sported a dimple on his chin |
|
I know that you never believed in fate |
|
But he was on time and you were always late |
