lyrics

Listening

Under the El in falling snow at five a.m.
Scattering trash below my window’s blowing again
Tonight my finger on the keys makes my blind piano see
You in the silence of the street
I’m following trails of shiny times with broken brooms
Pushing together precious piles of later and soon
While the empty paper night is torn by tiny tears of light
Spilling out onto the curb
All of the flutes of morning breathe your silvered air
All of the violins of life thrive in your hair
Orchestras of crows and doves, symphonies of sudden love
Conducted by the sun
Spiraling in a melody we flew off the charts and into the blue
And I followed you, I still follow you
Whether you tell me everything I want to know
Whether you show me all the things I want you to show
Every string on my guitar will keep translating where you are
I’ll be alone here listening
