lyrics

Listen was all was expected of me as I
Hurried on southbound Elizabeth St. I was
Dressed like a Capulet
Tired eyed and reticent.
Loosen my tie on the passenger seat. She came

On like a question mark beckoning me. She would
Dance ‘round the maypole and vanish in the trees. She was
Chock full of history, language and syncope,
Dawned on me like an epiphany.

I am not here.
I am acting like a Thylacine.
It is unclear to me to what end, to what end.
I am not here.
I am taller than I’ve ever been.
It is unclear to me to what end, to what end.
~~~
…And I held you once
On the borderline.
I can still hear you breathing, the sight of the city appears like a foggy outline.
…And you pulled me in
Where your secret’s safe with mine.
Where our personal history never gets in. We’re a boat that will never capsize.
…And you kissed me long.
I am spinning, shallow breathing, saturnine.
~~~
…And I held you once
On the borderline.
I can still hear you breathing, the sight of the city appears like a foggy outline.
…And you pulled me in
Where your secret’s safe with mine.
Where our personal history never gets in. We’re a boat that will never capsize.
…And you kissed me long.
I am spinning, shallow breathing, saturnine.
