I mourned the loss of a lover,
I drank away the Mississippi
Flowers grew between my teeth,
My nose was bloodied
My eyes bruised,
I know not the music to dance to
I only feel the sheet music in my bones,
Last week I jumped overboard
Tied anchors to my knees
Sunk between the floorboards
I know now the difference
Between the currents and the tides

I am mending this heart of mine,
Sewing together the parts torn away,
The distance I've put between
us was intentional,
I can not move forward
with you on my horizon,
You've made your decision,
Your own path to take,
I am headed for the south,
Somewhere for solace,
Somewhere to rest
