lyrics

I've held fault at arm's length
as fragments of our history
are all I can savor
in the vex of our consummation
pieces of the you I had
when time was our language
and we spoke in dialects
that made moments into monuments

when I felt I could indulge
in the wax of security
and the wane of endeavor
I wrote you countless letters
only some I sent
instead I let argument say
all the things I never meant
this time, that night
she said
'this time around'

you can only see it
when you're moving
but I think she said
that without really knowing
anything at all
about where she was going

and we've both taken lovers
and stabs at each other
and wanted and waited
and watched as we wondered
these miles pulled at us
played with us, until the us
became the me in Boston
and left with an alkaline memory

knee deep in the end of our dialogue
and it was too late, too late
to write you back, call you back
tell you that none
of those Hampstead nights
were thrown away

it's safe to say I still remember
safe to say I still regret
now in those days
my fondest dreams still sit
waiting for the lips of their creator
to call them home
(we'll get you, BPY 269.
just you wait, wherever you go.)
