Album: New Green Lines
You're the smell of the toast
That you made in the mornings
You're the page in my book
That I keep to myself
You're the unlocking sound
When I turn my door key
You're the scar
That I have from the time
That I fell
I can't describe the faces
I can't recall the names
But you remain
I keep you in the creases
I hide you in the folds
Protect you from the sunlight
Shield you from the cold
Everybody said
They were glad to see you go
But no one ever has to know
You're the part of the moon
That blends into the blackness
Even though we know
It's really still there
You're the song that I sing
And I don't need to practice
You're the green shoes
I keep though
They're too small to wear
I can't describe the faces
I can't recall the names
But you remain
I keep you in the creases
I hide you in the folds
Protect you from the sunlight
Shield you from the cold
Everybody said they were glad
To see you go
But no one ever has to
No one ever has to know the things
That I refuse to see
And all the nights I still can't sleep
I curl up in the sheets
Between the creases where you used to be
Once love wakes it never sleeps
Even when you love a dream
