 Questing,  I am not coasting.
 Nor will I ever,  despite this weather. I said,
 "Hey you, what's new?  I know your face."
 "Hey you, what's new?  Let's go some place."
 My thoughts that flit, my loosening  grip.
 "I need to connect to you  now."
On  our knees against the windowsill.
Watching  the sheet lightning  fly.
 Our hands caught spray from the open  window.
 A blanket of light, a whitewashed  sky.
 You move your frame  into the shape.
 The window makes  a lunar flame.
 Static headlights glow  in the flooded streets below.
 The TV turns to snow,  gutters weep with overflow. I said,
 "Hey you, what's new?  I know your face."
 "And I need to connect to you  now."
On  our knees against the windowsill.
Watching  the sheet lightning  fly.
 Our hands caught spray from the open  window.
 A blanket of light, a whitewashed  sky.
 Thanks for coming by,  it's such a dreadful night.
  A net curtain flashes,  outside the rain it lashes.
 Frozen stardust falls,  wide eyes can see it all.
On  our knees against the windowsill.
Watching  the sheet lightning  fly.
 Our hands caught spray from the open  window.
 And we're on  our knees against the windowsill.
Watching  the sheet lightning  fly.
 Our hands caught spray from the open  window.
 Thanks for coming by.
