| Today there was a stream where a walker walked alone. |
| Whistling a tune that
|
| drifted up through a tree and stirred up a bird before it was heard by a girl.
|
| Today there was a vision of a house burning on a television, in a room inside
|
| an eye- in a head topped by a brown curl. |
| a telephone ring, in the middle of
|
| the night was said to cause fright in a dark house lived in by a family of four.
|
| Today is almost tomorrow, and if i think- not quite yesterday. |
| but all this
|
| ahead, that sees not, would at the foot of its bed, and tomorrow is not quite
|
| yesterday. |
| Tomorrow’s not quite yesterday.
|
| Last time i saw you, you didnt have brown hair. |
| Now my foot falls dont echo in
|
| your halls no more and creeping up the stairs to your room, stick close id stay
|
| to the walls stick so close to the wall that the stairs dont creak at all.
|
| And i think i would know! |
| l
|
| ast time i heard you at the table, i could feel that, i was a a fear and im a
|
| ghost and, now all my words have fears of mine alone.
|
| terradina?!
|
| and today after the whistling; |
| you sang to the same old tune. |
| Would you talk to
|
| me as if im real to you?
|
| Know what about me? |
| What did you do, no one thats in need, nobody looks quite
|
| like you. |
| No today is not quite like yesterday. |
| No today is not yesterday- but
|
| today was not a good one.
|
| Last time i saw you, you didnt have brown hair and now my foot falls dont echo
|
| in your halls no more, i went up to your room, all my fears are mine alone.
|
| today a call could not go through.
|
| today a window will feel not you, today a bird stirred not in its nest.
|
| today, shall we say was not the very best
|
| terradina?!
|
| last time i heard you at the table, i could feel that, i was a a fear and im a
|
| ghost and now all my words have fears of mine alone.
|
| terradina?!
|
| Would you talk to me as if i could be real to you? |
