lyrics

The quilt around our car is soft and dark and dry. The buttons look like stars. The seams convey a form, like pictures in the sky. There's solace in the storm. The teardrops on the hood resemble falling rain. Our quiet mood is good. Sing me the whole way home.

The song that I hear I recognize, but it is not mine. (Your words don't seem to fit) The earth comes to a halt as if we had finally arrived. The screen door is shut, the main door unlatched just as always in case of a night like today, or a hazy and soft day like tonight. The clock on the shelf is vivid and loud and it's stoic. Each tick is in time with the beat. You don't love me but you won't show it. My form on the couch is comfortable, limp and unchanging. Outside, leaves are drifting away almost as if they were my thoughts

The mantle clock is fading now, sing me to sleep.
