lyrics

I walk through the city gazing up at towers
How much cobblestone can I cram into a letter

How little we knew that a pinky promise withers
Words ache of arthritis
Niceties no longer remembered

You float through the chimney
Sullied by no ashes
Soot won’t even touch your righteous golden splendor

Blame sinks in cold water grasping for an iceberg
Long broken off from home
A glacier of old paper

And the shelf is bowing from the weight
Of generously dressed words that push away
And back when we were two witches in the basement
We had no nubby fingers to point
