Warming

We touch on the sidewalk with a warming

Came to hear the words you're forming

In songs sung about the early morning

I lay wide awake, it's quiet

It seems as if no one and nothing is here

But I see a small shadow there in the mirror

.. and they just disappear

Say it was mine and I'd buy it

Turn to the lady in the lobby now

Smoke rises into that sky of dead trees

Your hand on my leg and you sit on my knee

I hold it this way to this day

In faces in facets and moments delayed

A head in your bed when you do hit the hay

I'll only crash here for the night

I have no place to stay

I came from the sky in my ray

Once diamond shone in the new parking lot

And the waking of ladies is gorgeous

They came on legs and the game that they brought

Ties up our hands but we ignore this

And a tug on my belt, whisper warming my ear

Have a ball with me now if the coast is all clear

I'll treat you so fine, but my freedom is so dear

So hard to walk with this lady

Morning time comes in the same way somehow

I feel a breath but it's not from my my mouth

This feeling has nothing to do with that time

And my britches stand in her corner

All of me rings with its

If we don't match, it's no matter to fear

I can sleepwalk out of this hole tonight

And be halfway to somewhere

As the day loses light

But difference gives us some dues to pay

So lay into them for a night and a day

And just like a wolf pack

Be soon on your way

A merry song inside your brains

I balled them out

'Good for you' they might say

But what of the small things

You've lost on your way

A CD, a sweatshirt

No, none of these names

I tell you, you lost

Something different that day

For where has she gone

She's at home where she stays

You no longer linger

Your name is a haze

No string of you vibrates

No song of you plays

You're out of her mind altogether
