Waiting in the Airport

Press your nose to the glass\nWhisper freedom at last to your window\nBuckle your seat wrapped up warm in a sheet on your way\nPress your ear to the fabric\nVibrations and static from nowhere\nThe engines will spin till your dreams have caved into your eyes\nI’ve settled into a feeling I hope never passes\nI am afraid but I couldn’t admit that to you\nThe clocks are all sugar the minutes the move like molasses\nPutting holes in my teeth from the hope I’ve been chewing too long\nSpitting arrows at innocent sparrows for fun\nIn the sand I will whisper a thing about living\nA wise little word just to bounce up and down in your brain\nThen you’ll realize it’s love that I meant to be giving\nYou’ll smile a bit but then probably conclude I’m insane\nEager eyes setting back in my head\nWhat have you done for your time?\nI can’t read what the bible says\nBut I’m learning to love what is mine\nI’m trying to care and I’m trying to carry\nThe weight of the things I have done\nLay me my love,\nDown, down\nThe winter is passing and I am it’s only companion\nShooting the liquor like bullets into my regrets\nI need you here just to kill off the fear of abandon\nPraying dear god do you think you could help me forget\nSmile breaks from your lips when the ground you have met\nI am terrified but I haven’t wavered yet\nThrough the gate you will wonder, so lost, so alone\nI will say to you this is the place I call home\nEager eyes setting back in my head\nWhat have you done for your time?\nI can’t read what the bible says\nBut I’m learning to love what is mine\nI’m trying to care and I’m trying to carry\nThe weight of the things I have done\nHoping for answers and begging to feel\nAs the monster that I have become\nEager eyes setting back in my head\nHearing son where the hell did you go?\nIn all your travels and all you’ve heard said\nDid you hear something I didn’t know?\nI will care for you, I look after you\nI will not fear the above\nLay me my love
