Lay awake
Lay awake
Don’t forget
Don’t forget
When you’re far away
Far away-
Fast pace. Slow step.
Wide stance. Long sleeves.
It’s just a short drive from here
It just a short drive
Old soul. Young life.
Shy girl. Grey eyes.
She lived a long time ago
She lived a long time.
Turned off all the lights- the lights around.
Saw the houses- from far away, far away.
The snow that falls between words,
builds a space for me, space for me.
Dont’ forget, don’t forget.
When you’re far away. Far away-
Cold hands. Warm heart.
Long face. Short breath.
They let a few strays in here.
They let a few strays.
Quick glance. Long stare.
Sharp tongue. Soft touch.
It’s just a few days from here
It’s just a few days
Turned off all the lights- the lights around.
Saw the houses- from far away, far away.
