Weeping Willow

Saw you through the window
Saw you at the back of my mind
I'll wait

If you see me to the gatefold
Can I get a little piece of your time
I'll wait

I don't need you to reflect me
But I need you to respect me on high
I'll wait

I want you to be ready
But I'm standing at the end of your line
I'll wait

I'll wait for tongue’s lawless
Past gestation and nativity
I'll wait here regardless
Of the loss of mind’s proclivity
For love and loving

My nerves can't be outnumbered
They lead me to an altar unseen
Unsafe, our foundation, drips of color
A deeply rich but hesitant green
Unsafe, I want you to be ready
I want to tell you all of my needs
Unsafe, our foundation is unsteady
Sometimes harder to lay bricks than to grieve
Unsafe, unsafe
Like weeping willow
Halved by lightning
While the churchyard sleeps unsafe
Head to pillow
Dreaming you become stranger to me
And I lay in the darkness
It's a sexless wrath of bland disease
But my heart unharnessed
Is stronger than the lot of me
In love and loving

Hey, let your guard down
Stop pushing me away
Hey, let your guard down
And I'll give it just another day

I'll wait
I'll wait
I'll wait
I'll wait
Are we something?
Or are we just another sad song?
