I Don't Know If It Was Real Or In A Dream
Lately Waking Up I'm Not Sure Where I've Been
There Was A Table Set For Six And Five Were There
I Stood Outside And Kept My Eyes Upon That Empty Chair
And There Was Steam On The Windows From The Kitchen
Laughter Like A Language I Once Spoke With Ease
But I'm Made Mute By The Virtue Of Decision
And I Choose Most Of Your Life Goes On Without Me
Oh The Fear I've Known
That I Might Reap The Praise Of Strangers
And End Up On My Own
All I've Sown Was A Song
But Maybe I Was Wrong
I Said To You The One Gift Which I'd Adore
The Package Of The Next 10 Years Unfolding
But You Told Me If I Had My Way I'd Be Bored
Right Then I Knew I Loved You Best Born Of Your Scolding
When We Last Talked We Were Lying On Our Backs
Looking At The Sky Through The Ceiling
I Used To Lie Like That Alone Out On The Driveway
Trying To Read The Greek Upon The Stars
The Alphabet Of Feeling
Oh I Knew Back Then
It Was A Calling That Said If Joy Then Pain
The Sound Of The Voice These Years Later
Is Still The Same
I Am Alone In A Hotel Room Tonight
I Squeeze The Sky Out But There's Not A Star Appears
Begin My Studies With This Paper And This Pencil
And I'm Working Through The Grammar Of My Fears
Oh Mercy What I Won't Give
To Have The Things That Mean The Most
Not To Mean The Things I Miss
Unforgiving The Choice Still Is
The Language Or The Kiss
