Storm
I stayed in this place before the storm hit
and blew me home
i can’t set my sight beyond the train line
or the road
you knew then that i’d be gone when the morning
light fell in your palm
i turned my face out towards the coastline
and the shore
held my ears close so i could listen
to her moan
i knew you weren’t there at all
but the memory kept me moving on
i stayed with my past as long as it took me
to let go
there’s no sense in trying to protect me
from my ghosts
i’ll fall out of love again if you let me
but how could i be sure
there’s nowhere to go tonight
there’s nowhere to go so i
i keep on lying down
afraid that i’ll be found out
i let all my thoughts come with me
when i go
sprinkle them out when i feel like
coming home
i saw you in there somewhere
but i can’t be sure
