Good morning, love Oh I tried so not to wake you But this day and I- still as we seem- we mean to take you Your hand is soft at my side Hips rise to meet you What would we do just to keep you? Keep your silver shined, Keep your coffee warm Keep your orange eyes kind, Keep your black sunglasses on Keep your handshake hard, keep your breathing deep Keep on dragging me down, keep on catching my breath, my beat Now I know- now I know that I Am glass boned and porcelain eyed But the weight of this waking life Is heavy on my mind ‘Cause I wanna be closer I wanna read you over and over Just to get you right Mouthing you silently by this light What'd I do, you know I would Keep your love green glass, keep your knuckles white Keep my shoulders bare, keep your hands blue light Keep your cotton soft, keep your rumble low Keep you dreaming feet kicking, keep your waking slow Keep your body bent so, lower your resistance Let me learn the curve of you but only at a distance Build your mountains higher love carve that river wide, Or I’ll find forever running at your side Hold me as a garden fence would hold its roots and vines Let me learn the curve of you but only over time Build your mountains higher love, carve that river wide I don’t want to find forever at your side

Frame 04:35
Leaning from the corner Of a dog-eared, yellowed page Staring at your ghost, I know It's all that I can take And I know it's coming back again Over time, and under some old weight But I feel it in my bones, it's colder Like the door you frame Reeling in the hollow air That followed me in June Feeling how it'd break I tried to take it all too soon And I know it's coming back again Over time, and under some old weight But I feel it in my bones, it's colder Like the door you frame So kiss me, I've been lost in ties that bind I'll never let it end in memory or mind You're sifted in time - I drift to the bottom Where you'll stay Leaning from the corner Of a dog-eared, yellowed page Staring at your ghost, I know It's all that I can take And I know it's coming back again Over time, and under some old weight But I feel it in my bones, it's colder Like the door you frame

She’s walking down the fire escape; She’s so light, she’s the tiniest leaf And he’s at the bottom waiting to say “Love, we’re late” It’s the way she sings. Meanwhile I’m cleaning out the drawers, Wondering if it’s “Love” that’s breeding Twist ties and fruit stickers, silent ritual killers It’s these little things Sand in our pockets It’s stones in our shoes It’s coffee and bread crumbs, and Trying not to wake you- wake you It’s been a year, and I’ve arranged myself Into piles and wooden frames Wishing for a moment free, A moment so easy as the spring Lifting my hands off handle bars, Waiting for the fear, the catch, the scars I know it’s coming on, proof my grace is gone; It’s these little things. We’re already buried, We noticed them to late It’s creaks in the floorboards, and Chips in the paint, chips in the paint What’s to become of us? The word, the heart, the ring? No memory of all these little things? It's squeezing from the bottom Wasting all our time winning eery battle by saying "never mind" Oh, never mind Never mind these little things
