walk with me a way
wallpaper flowers, love embrace
lemonade and liquorice
shoelace
my face
is feeling hot tonight
we walked a way
under stationary stars
and the flashing air planes
to wear the streets dont shine
even in the traditional rain
that wasnt falling that night
a dust track running by an
old weat field to the left
and a pine tree wood
at the back
the old hospital shimmers
invisably in the distance
behind the radar tower
we laid on her backs
head to head, feet pointing
in opposite directions
i told you about some dreams of mine
and you listened
i told you about some dreams of mine
well they still havent come true
and I am not quite the same person
I was a few years ago
we drank cheap fizzy white wine
that tasted slightly of vinegar
and you rolled onto your side
and i touched the skin on your arm
and spelled out your name with my hand
without really thinking
I never want to make you cry
and if there is anything in the world
that hurts you, I can make it go away
I have not become a stronger man
but I know my way around these ways
Ive got dust in my hair
and dust on my sweatshirt
you had on this shade
of green eyeshadow
that I have never really forgotton
even today.
