lyrics

So good to see you again my dear,
You’re standing in the door.
What a treat to see your hands, dear—
You look well, you know.

I have but a few things to say
Oh I thought I saw you the other day?

This is a tribute to the tarries of love.
Like a poem, with a witness, and tongues.

Oh I missed you again today,
Like most days of this winter felt so plainly
On the Northern breeze.
But I know something greater was felt
In our hearts when we decided
To take this space.

But the longing nonetheless is a parable for this
Kind of wanting what you can’t have.

So remember the eye spectacles
for the birds that you brought?
Or the way you assured me,
You were late to see your friend,
That it wasn’t personal at all?
Or the way that I watched your van
Disappear but I saw you turn around—
At the right second moment,
As the sun did set,
And our prayers went up in smoke.

So go on my darling, I too have things to do,
But the next time I see you will be sweet I’m sure.
And I could hold you in my mind,
Try to fix the truth but I know it just ain’t
The right thing to do.

But when you’re at the ocean,
Need I say more?
When you’re at the ocean (darling),
Need I say more?
