Lime Tree |
| I keep floating down the river but the ocean never comes |
| Since the operation I heard you’re breathing just for one |
| Now everything is imaginary, especially what you love |
| You left another message, said it’s done |
| It’s done |
| When I hear beautiful music it’s always from another time |
| Old friends I never visit, I remember what they’re like |
| Standing on a doorstep full of nervous butterflies |
| Waiting to be asked to come inside |
| Just come inside |
| But I keep going out |
| I can’t sleep next to a stranger when I’m coming down |
| It’s 8 a.m., my heart is beating too loud |
| Too loud |
| Don’t be so amazing or I’ll miss you too much |
| I felt something that I had never touched |
| Everything gets smaller now the further that I go |
| Towards the mouth and the reunion of the known and the unknown |
| Consider yourself lucky if you think of it as home |
| You can move mountains with your misery if you don’t |
| If you don’t |
| It comes to me in fragments, even those still split in two |
| Under the leaves of that old lime tree I stood examining the fruit |
| Some were ripe and some were rotten, I felt nauseous with the truth |
| There will never be a time more opportune |
| So I just won’t be late |
| The window |
| Closes, shock rolls over in a tidal wave |
| And all the color drains out of the frame |
| So pleased with a daydream that now living is no good |
| I took off my shoes and walked into the woods |
| I felt lost and found with every step I took |
