don’t look directly in the sun and daughter playing in the backyard words sleep naked on white lined paper cuts between her fragile fingers i never told you i’m not over you won’t look me directly in the i make patterns on my new lover i keep my head above dark water falls and winters never knew my name
this is not a game.
the sun is coming up
and the water’s flowing gently under
this is not time to give up
all alone in an empty room together
we are lovers ’til the end
tie our hands and let the water take us
this is not what we had planned
all alone in an empty room together.
take a tone. don’t take that tone with me.
roll a stone. roll a stone right over me.
we are lovers ’til the end
tie our hands and let the water take us
this is not what we had planned
all alone in an empty room together.
