I have lost so many days to leaving fast at the door
there's a safe space in hell for my story
I could cross myself blank and try to count ifs and ors
Or just leave you with one simple sorry
There wil be one figure there
Through a tear in the sheet spread, a hole in the seam
I peer into a night you once shared
And beyond pale darkness and the lights of the beam
I'm returning I stand soft to air
There wil be one figure there
Orbiting south in atmosphere
returning softly to air
I have lost all my ways to spreading out on the floor
lying prostrate and safe from the warming
I could cross myself and count the numbers backwards in time
Or count simple and forwards and boring
There wil be one figure there
Orbiting south in atmosphere
returning softly to air
