|
Self-assured with a cold heart |
|
I was sure the words had failed us |
|
So roundabout I take the curtains down |
|
Sweep beneath chairs, the unanswered prayers |
|
Now I'm haunted by a longing so early in the morning |
|
It greets me without warning |
|
Coincidence I see you today |
|
We small talk but time gets in the way |
|
So I clip the clock's wings, we talk about smart things |
|
Find myself smiling for the first time in days |
|
Now I'm haunted by a longing this afternoon on Main Street |
|
You're smiling and oh, how apropos |
|
I once had an ending but now I have the go |
|
I laugh when you say, "Flowers say what they mean" |
|
'Cause roundabout you say the funniest things |
|
Now I'm haunted by a longing so late in the evening |
|
It greets me with a warning for life |
