lyrics

Square One
(overheard on Cordova Street, November 14, 2007)

She is home earlier than he expected
His voice was strange on the phone
When she called him
And there they were
Covers pulled up to their ears
She saw the future disappear
The body lives but the spirit’s flown

Say goodbye to the one that you trusted
Say goodbye to all the years that you gave him
These are days
For trying not to go insane
For trying to stop the mind replaying
Your childhood friend and your shining knight
Saying ‘is is not what it looks like’

She said ‘Destiny, I don’t believe in destiny
Fate has made a fool of me
I’ve had it with the lie
Oh, all this time, how could I have been so blind?
What a veil I’ve lived behind
I don’t know who I am
In the far recesses of my soul
In the dark, angry corners
In the black holes
Is there anything worth saving here at all?’

In her dream she is halfway to Paris
Looking down on New England from the stratus
Some sweet taste
Is gone before it leaves a trace
What’s indefinable escapes
But she has seen another life
At the end of this dark night
There is a shimmering white light
And this is not what it looks like
