| Today is Tuesday I got your letter days ago
|
| It was printed out and kept in my purse
|
| As a substitute for the missing daylight
|
| Of a jetlagged insomniac
|
| I am back in this part of the universe
|
| It changed behind my back
|
| And the place where I left my centre
|
| Got lost in the action
|
| Oo-oo, isn’t it one of life’s blessings
|
| Oh-oo, isn’t it one of life’s blessings
|
| I do not remember the shape of my plan
|
| I do not remember the shape of my plan
|
| It’s gone a little winterish here but no snow yet
|
| Only crispy grass freezing leaves to the ground
|
| After they’ve fallen down, as a taste of what’s to come
|
| I’m having a new watchtower built
|
| Different but not quite
|
| So that the missing angles
|
| Might find their way home
|
| Oo-oo, isn’t it one of life’s blessings
|
| Oo-oo, isn’t it one of life’s blessings
|
| Spending my days trying to trust that they will
|
| Spending my days trying to trust that they will
|
| Survived that flight sleeping, it was days ago
|
| And in the buzzing unreality of airports
|
| The whole trip was reduced to a dream
|
| And stored in my head
|
| And in an ocean not so far away from here
|
| Your name’s become a mantram on repeat
|
| The underwater-creatures in me
|
| Are chanting your name
|
| Oo-oo, isn’t it one of life’s blessings
|
| Oo-oo, isn’t it one of life’s blessings
|
| Do they remember the shape of my plan?
|
| Do they remember the shape of my plan?
|
| Do they remember the shape of my plan?
|
| Do they remember the shape of my plan? |
