Drinking in the shitty motel bar
Trying to obliterate my brain
Wondering how I could fall so far
I was in trouble once again
Talking to a guy I didn’t like
Telling him some lies I wished were true
Feeling how I sink into the night
When I start thinking hard on you
I’m just wasting all this time
Slowing days down for a while
Eradicating moments
Contentedly beguiled
Sitting in an empty motel pool
Counting all the crows up in the tree
Wishing I could fly right home to you
Hoping you were trying to believe
Remembering the summers on the cape
Watching how the days fell into night
The sun always vanished without a trace
Falling asleep in sand outside
We were wasting days away
So naïve and unafraid
But that was decades in the past
Before dreams all had been dashed
Sunlight like a fragile hollow string
Laid across the landscape like a quilt
You said you see god in everything
Disparate tendrils that he built
Somehow you drifted elsewhere first
Time seeming to quiet to a hush
Pitifully tethered to this earth
Watching as the clouds pass up above
