Thickets

Did you notice?
Things are not the same
The feeling of your voice upon
my name

We’ve drawn it out so
I’ll be on my way
Find something to protect me from the anguish
I can’t face

None can tell you
the road you are to take
But you live to let the words appear
upon the page

And if you tend this
Perhaps the rest will come
But I see the shifting shadow
on the dial in the sun

Go my love
Strike the match
With the heartstrings unattached

Go my love
Watch the moon
I see it oh, my window through

We try to find it
Some semblance of control
We try to make things happen
but they just want to unfold

And if in leaving
I’m clearing out the way
Then I accept that losing you
would be the price I pay

This raging battle
The logic has its part
I try to find a way around
the wounding of my heart

But still I’d rather
See your open wings
Break it so that I can see
that far more precious thing

Go my love
Strike the match
With the heartstrings unattached

Go my love
Watch the moon
I see it oh, my window through

Hey oh hey,
It’s you again
Let your tears run dry
Oh our love unraveling
We come back to life
Spring is coming
Summer soon
The leaves will shake the frost will nip
no matter what we do

So put the words down
Down upon the page
Keep on through the thickets,
catch the meanings where they stray

Go my love
Strike the match
With the heartstrings unattached

Go my love
Watch the moon
I see it oh, my window through
I see it oh, I see it oh

Did you notice?
Things are not the same
The absence of your voice
Upon my name
