Sunlight falls on your hands
As you type, just something in my head
standing in, this empty space, your desk is gone
the wall still dark..from where it when
This position is not open now for applicants
the application forms got shreaded
there were faulty wordin' in the documents
I can still hear you laughin'
coming up the rickity stairs
laughing as the springtime filled your lungs with air
grey smoke hung out like patches in your hair like fire
like birds inside a bell
I break those prows in back of my mind
while the sun is out, no it's still up and the light is shining
the season push and pull enough to get us through
well my mind is open like a door to an empty room
This position is not open now for applicants
the application forms got shreaded
there were faulty wordin' in the documents
I can still hear you laughin'
coming up the rickity stairs
laughing as the springtime filled your lungs with air
grey smoke hung out like patches in your hair like fire
like birds inside a bell
if Somehow
I'd have known
i'd rather come down
with the ship
than be without you
if only for the chance
to hold you hand
to be your friend
I never got there last time
i'd rather come down
in this
the war is over, the war is over, the war is over
and I'm waiting in the sinking ships
If only I had known
If only I had known
