I watched you go
I watched you go
I watched you go
I watched you go
I watched you grow
I watched you grow
Without eyes
I watched you grow

And I’ve been trailing
Ghostly figures wrapped in pain I’ll never know
Just to see if they’ll notice

Take off your bed
Tied to all that sleep
Descending motions
Air warmed with defeat

Set the sails
Out from under me
Those anchors on your eyes
Will disappear if you leave

She was in hospital for months and I didn't even know. Didn't care for years, yet was always trailing after her, picking up pieces of her life. Would have been better if I'd just disappeared, and she'd never seen me again.
