Sunday Someday
from: Get Real
Sunday in Lenas living room / we lay by the propane fire / burning blue through Monday afternoon / sky full of dreamy desires / someday well lay by a real fire in a real fireplace / in a house in the country with lots of space / but the love is new, its barely begun / we do what we do with enough room to run // tuesday, special delivery; Lena says that hes late / okay it may be a false alarm, no need for concern / u play with fire and u learn, or u burn pink as the litmus paper ablaze/ well test it again in a couple day because // everything changes, every thing shifts / bodies collide, and continents shift / apart, like pieces of puzzles or cells divide inside // Thursday, in Lenas living womb, hint of a butterflys flutter / Friday, in the waiting room; its hard to look at each other / we could just leave for a real life, a family plan / get a small apartment and save what we can / but the nurse is calling for her and for me / she says theres a discount with student i.d. // sad day, Saturdays may come and go this one goes on forever / sad day, cry on the kitchen floor; all the tears dont make it better / somehow we must find a real love here in this night / to bear us along through whats wrong and whats right / to shine above all through the things weve been through / showing that we did the best that we knew // and still everything changes, everything shifts / bodies collide, and continents drift / apart, and open an ocean between before and evermore // some days the propane fire burns blue like the infinite sky / and some days the propane fire burns blue like your unfinished eyes / someday youll lay by a real fire, in a real fireplace / in a house in the country with lots of space / if matter and energy must be conserved / u will return to the love u deserve // Sundaysomedaysomeday
