|
The weeks slip through our fingers |
|
Like the dry sand blowing across the dunes |
|
Swept into a cardboard box |
|
Filled with forgotten photographs and abandoned songs |
|
The past few years |
|
Illuminated only by the dim glow |
|
Of a sun setting in the east |
|
Now it's almost night |
|
I scour the landscape |
|
Trying to make out your familiar shape against the horizon |
|
But it's amazing how rarely our paths cross |
|
Considering we share the same bed |
|
The sand stings my face |
|
I keep walking, keep looking |
|
I can barely make out the sound of my own voice beneath the wind |
|
Maybe we'll be alone, maybe we'll be alone |
