lyrics

Laundry’s on the line
The birds are wasting time
We’re collecting little parts
to feel something bigger

You bring in the flowers that
miraculously grew
between the driveway and the sidewalk
put them in a vase
to listen to them talk

I know
things are going to change
We have been here many times before
I know
it won’t feel so strange
when you and I don’t live here anymore

The two of us are used
to changing our addresses
used to watching Greyhound busses
interrupting pigeons
but now we’ve got two rocking chairs
one borrowed and one broken
As day and night are meeting
we find ourselves repeating
the poetry of slow motion

I know
things are going to change
We have been here many times before
I know
it won’t feel so strange
when you and I don’t live here anymore

I know
things are going to change
Hand in hand, we’re standing at the door
And I know
it won’t feel so strange
