tell me a story
I could listen to you for ages,
tell me a story - when you talk it’s all I hear.
A million things to worry about
but all I see is you.
Halfway to another halfway point
and the end is nowhere near.
Something else to think about,
but all that’s playing on my mind is you.
a million problems in the wide world,
but god knows willing or not,
my thoughts are with you.
The road is long but not open - hours to think,
mind trapped between skyscrapers and bums
I didn’t look back, I don’t know why.
I wonder if you watched me leave.
your voice is what I hear in my dreams
it catches me and carries me and keeps me safe.
the weight pulls me but never down.
My best friend is a hundred miles away.
loud and happy and proud
smiling and talking and telling stories.
lost in a world of people who don’t know,
but I think you do.
Lost and lonely, but somewhere I find a home
between the look in your eyes and the touch of your hand
I hope everyone we know looks and laughs
I hope they all think it might not last
because in the end that’s fine with me
I really don’t mind so much (about what they think).
