We were so little
It hadn't yet started
Chlorine eyes
Three Dog Night
Swings after school
A honeysuckle hanging from the lips of a girl
You were always there
I was always there
In your apartment
Tea and crumpets yea
Wafted things baking
Cozy entrapments
Couldn't contain me
Was not in my nature there were
Dirty streets hopes of danger unknown
Yea yea yea
You were always there
I was always there
You were never there
I was never there
But you tried
You looked at the light in the candles you lit
Oh you looked at the lights in the jewels you stitched
Oh you looked at the light in the water
You were brave
Oh you kept it together longer than I could
But light never revealed what you wished it would
Oh you looked to the sparkle of water
When'd you start walking
Like your mother
Spirit slowing down down down
But you never moved so fast
Did the wind blow your hair
Were you scared
Did you hold your nose
No no no
I called you that day
You had the last word
