My Friend |
I swear I heard a bird high in the chestnut trees |
The sun was so bright, that bird I couldn’t see |
No matter where I stood I couldn’t see beak or wing |
Just burning, blinding leaves, still and silent trees |
Were you with me then my friend? |
Are you with me now? |
When that cement truck, the mixer turning slow |
Drove right past me dripping in the road |
That swollen body spinning in circles |
I stopped and watched it roll, roll and groan |
Were you with me then, my friend? |
Are you with me now? |
When I swam alone that night, late summer dusk |
The air so warm and still, the water wide and dark |
Something brushed against me, I splashed and kicked in fright |
Such cold hands upon me, underwater vines |
Were you with me then, my friend? |
Are you with me now? |
