Cloud

Written December 2003

Tab

you said I could never be the one who fits into your dreams
the same day you misplaced your keys
and we spent half an hour looking,
+++ you’re a cloud that’s gonna rain somewhere else,
+++ and I’m not proud, I keep these moments to myself
+++++ and hold them, tight as roses,
+++++ bound together, into winter,
you’ve escaped with all your weather now..

you said there was nothing here to keep you for another year
of this town’s cheapest rent and beer
and everything you never wanted,
+++++ if we’re just pieces in-between,
+++++ can you predict the gaps left over?
+++++ your keys were on the bathroom sink
+++++ and everything was where we left it..
+++ you’re a cloud, it’s gonna rain somewhere else,
+++ and I’m not proud, I keep these moments to myself
+++++ and hold them, tight as roses,
+++++ bound together, into winter,
you’ve escaped with all your weather now…
