|
Shed the days like skin |
|
Pray for evenings in |
|
Hold their hands in the street when you walk them off to school |
|
A box too full to shut |
|
Cardboard paper cut |
|
Bleeding edge of a picture of your parents when they were cool |
|
So much to say, |
|
I forget to start |
|
There goes a day, fading as it passes |
|
Forget the grey, let it fall apart |
|
It's okay |
|
I like you in glasses |
|
Shovels in the sand |
|
A playdough wedding band |
|
A drowning princess in a tangle of towels on the floor |
|
An old familiar ache |
|
The little pills we take |
|
The thoughtless kindness of a coffee cup waiting by the door |
|
So much to say, |
|
I forget to start |
|
There goes a day, fading as it passes |
|
Forget the grey, let it fall apart |
|
It's okay |
|
It's on the board |
|
Someone's been double-booking |
|
I've got time |
|
How is your next week looking? |
|
House shifts into place |
|
A little breathing space |
|
The radiators and the floorboards will argue while we sleep |
|
There's water in the walls |
|
The stairs make waterfalls |
|
Down in the basement the soft sound of a river digging deep |
|
So much to say, |
|
I forget to start |
|
There goes a day, fading as it passes |
|
Forget the grey, let it fall apart |
|
So much to say, |
|
I forget to start |
|
There goes a day, fading as it passes |
|
Forget the grey, let it fall apart |
|
It's okay |
|
I like you in glasses |
