Indeterminate Interlude

Oh, well,
The birds have given up tugging at my windows.
The daylight's done a ninety from my door,
My hopes have all subsided.
Oh, well.

Indeterminate interlude.

So, well,
The memories have all but disappeared,
My jaw has done a ninety from the floor.
And who are you again?
Oh, well.

Indeterminate interlude...

Blue Sunflowers

My hopes,
Your expectations,
Rain breaking,
Blue sunflowers
Withering in the withering.

Your hopes,
My inhibitions
Rain breaking -
Blue sunflowers.
Withering, in the withering.

Swirling With Alibis

Don't smile when I say
This love has failed the test,
I'm not a man to make
Apologies for the rest.
I'm just a person in a world
swirling with alibis.

And you're just a girl
in a world
Swirling with lies.

Don't cry when I say
That we were the best.
You're not a girl to make
apologies for the rest.
You're just a person in this world
Swirling with alibis.

And I'm just a man
In a world
Swirling with lies.

When I Lose You

When
I
lose
you,

Fall
through
my
fingers
quickly.

As
Though
I
Died.

Don’t
Put
Up
A
fight.

Gaps

When I pleaded with you
To make sure you didn’t lose
the sparkle in your eyes,
I didn’t say it from a point of desperation,
But more a point of resignation.

And I fill in the gaps.
But not enough
To bring you back.

When I pleaded with you
To make sure you didn’t lose
the sparkle in your eyes,
I never said it from a point of desperation,
But more a point of resignation.

And I fill in the gaps.
But not enough
To bring them back.

When I pleaded with you
To make sure you never lost
the sparkle in your eyes,
I didn’t say it from a point of desperation,
But more a point of resignation.

And I fill in the gaps.
But not enough
To bring you back.
