lyrics

There’s even a hum in his voice that rings to me.
That longs to sit in a dank stack of book and show new things to each other.
But I am so young and he is so old
and the road goes on a long way where I can’t see the other side.

I long to visit him bedside.
When he’s draped in afghans, I’m gonna tell him stories
About the secret ways I’ve found or the mornings I’ve spent far from the shore.
Of each of my narrow escapes and to let him know that
I’ve never settled for anything less than what I deserved.

That there wasn’t a hillside left unsung and
I didn’t leave a single field unrun.
It was only a matter of time before the moon was mine,
When I’d return to tell him how the dust felt mushy between the sweat in my toes.
And then it’d be ours.

See I have no thought or want of how he should be.
Because my hope for him can’t halt or stale.
Except for his thick, rich hum, that I’ve come to long for,
To look down each hall for,
To lean behind doors for.

I dream of a late, rainy night
Where the whiskey flows and
He might delight in the pulse
Of my sloppy ragtime.
