lyrics

the fact of harm
slips between
cool on a day
you ask for the way back in
to something given

god the trees
pass easy
take the job
take the city
and i’ll keep my hands free
laugh in between

and if this is as far as it goes
i will draw you
when i can
if this is as far as it goes
i’ll try to smile
to see you in
familiar places

i held the shape
while i could
while the centre was out of it
try to remain
something good
you took the fight out of it
possible ends
they bloom
and descend
into the bend

and sometimes when i’m
quiet and alone
i need no repair
if this is as far as it goes
write it in handfuls of air
you were there
