The stains in the carpet, the mud on my shoes
the fear in her eyes when I entered the room
did we talk, should I listen to that voice from below
I swear she was here just a minute ago
that’s what losing sounds like
I’m not dreaming, am I
I dial her number and send out a spark
my fingers remember and so does my heart
does it hurt like it did, does it sting like before
I can’t feel my feet as I am crossing the floor
I try not to wonder about where you are
did I leave you alone out there in the dark
falling out of a dream
thought I’d thought of everything
falling out of a dream
I wish I was lost, but I know what I’m looking for
I’m looking for home in the deep of the night
I picture your house around Christmas time
I was never going to stay, I was only passing through
of course these things they’re never up to you
where are you going tonight
there’s no moon, no stars in sight
just tell me you’re fine, that we’re doing alright
don’t make me wait for your call
as I pray to be done with it all
the clouds - let em come, the rain – let it fall
a cheap, light summer dress,
the smell of her hair against my chest,
that song on her lips, those lies in her eyes
they’re as lovely as they’re unkind
a forest lies thick in front of me
I have miles to go before I sleep
where are you going tonight
there’s no moon, no stars in sight
just tell me you’re fine, that we’re doing alright
don’t make me wait for your call
as I pray to be done with it all
the clouds - let em come, the rain – let it fall
