missed connection: you took my hand in a neighborhood grocery store within hours of meeting

from tell the reaper come and get me by Wild Abandon

/

lyrics

wearing your nightgown, no underwear
wearing your nightgown
wearing
wearing

faraway dreams, lover unseen
more than one way to be honest and free

lotta precautions, lotta sunk ships
lotta vain mirrors, oh, never to rest
not a bought cello, not a melophone
violins to carry you home to yourself
not anybody else, not a waste of time

spend all morning covered in wine
drifty and sunken and slow and tired

lonely shores, not a glimpse
only seen doors
lest it stick
lest it stick
lest it stick

patient waters, not a scam
like my father, and his before him
tired shores, weary sand
happy to have held your hand
if not anybody else's

one more good sip and then i'm gone
i'll be adrift on some other song
i can't keep fading all night and day
i can't keep learning the words to pray

wearing your nightgown, no underwear
wearing your nightgown
wearing
wearing

five years
we've been here
something died, i can tell
wish i would sleep warm tonight
