[03.00.50]The one you want.
[00:03.92]The Garden
[00:04.71]
[00:10.55]
[00:21.37]I slept next to your broken wrist and dreamt
[00:28.02]I was a vine
[00:32.12]That grew out of a lover's kiss and wrapped around your spine.
[00:43.07]Will you stay in my life?
[00:48.39]I wish we were tied together sometimes.
[00:53.52]Entwined by a family wine.
[00:58.51]I wish I was your sister sometimes like tonight.
[01:05.18]I'd dry your eyes,
[01:07.64]You'd cough and then smile
[01:10.20]And say you'd be all right.
[01:12.80]Will you be all right?
[01:15.12]I’d trace the tattoo on the back of your neck,
[01:19.79]There's a picturedrawn there of the place you left,
[01:24.86]Where you cannot see it but you can forget.
[01:29.84]It’s there permanently like a badge of regret.
[01:36.64]
[01:40.65]
[01:44.45]There’s a row of ocean shells where there should be a garden.
[01:54.13]One for each whispered word you could tell me,
[01:59.32]One for each secret.
[02:03.76]So on shell stars in a dirt sky,
[02:08.78]I wish you’d trade your secrets for mine.
[02:13.69]I’d plant them and in time
[02:18.09]Flowers would bloom and burst through the room where we’d lie,
[02:25.11]They’d cover our eyes,
[02:27.32]I’d be that vine,
[02:29.76]The sun would shine in an endless springtime.
[02:34.70]But for now the flower pots only hold
[02:42.39]cigarette-butts.
[02:43.91]There’s a headstone above the nights we talked.
[02:48.58]There’s a different name whispered in your yard
[02:53.33]But it sounds the same as the one you want,
[03:04.70]
[03:05.62]And now I feel do overwhelmed,
[03:10.12]I had to sit out by myself
[03:15.20]On the curb beside your house,
[03:17.20]With my collar in my mouth.
[03:19.93]And the feeling that I felt,
[03:22.22]I had to lay them all out
[03:24.68]In chalk-writing on the ground,
[03:26.96]For you to step around.
[03:29.40]And the rain that ends the drought
[03:31.80]And would’ve let our seeds sprout
[03:34.40]will just wash my words out.
[03:38.95]Just wash my words out.
