lyrics

Some weeks are months
Some days are years
Still call you baby
All the same

Some steps are jumps
Some prayers are tears
Still walking daily
Despite the rain

This pill to wake
This pill to dream
I miss your face
In between the sheets

For heavens sake,
You never came
You’re looking great here despite the frame;

As if you haven’t changed

In simply being your whole damn self
You do that talking, I knew so well,
And I’m make sure
It goes in
The right ears.

And If I’m not making sense
I blame the medicines,
A hospital and a bed.
I get Repetitive

A verbal cue
Physically moved
Curate the days for
Consistency

I dress my feet
I sit for lunch
The morning hues in
The coffee dump.

Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Not much to say but
Wish you were here.

As if the message was unclear

Know what you’d tell me too,
You’d rub my back you’d talk me through
You’d say - Oh cheer up charlie,
It’s only a day.

Know what you’d tell me too,
You’d rub my back you’d talk me through
You’d say - Oh cheer up charlie,
It’s only a day.
Just get through the day.

My crumpled hand,
A simple plan,
Still stretching daily
Despite the pain

To hear your name is still a strain

In simply being your whole damn self
You do that talking you do so well,

I keep repeating my whole damn self
I miss that talking I knew so well

And I’m never sure
I’m quoting the right years




The way your hands would have shrunk like mine
How your eyes would have greyed over
Eleven in the morning, Again.
