    One Song Mk III

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    Weakerthans - Night Windows

     

    In the stick count for the song with knowing you're gone

    Glancing up at where you lived when you lived here

    I see you suddenly alive and nearly smiling

    Stop and hold my breath and watch the way we used to be

     

    The full moon makes our faces shine like over-ironed polyester

    Then disappears behind the clouds

    And leaves me under empty rows of night windows

    We could walk to where these streets get pulled together

    Blinking, lined with gravel, shoulder squared towards an end

    Where the radio resounds from doppling traffic

    Where the power lines steal lessons from the hourly news

     

    Depluralize our casualties, drown the generals out in static

    We turn and watch our city sprawl and send us signals in the glow

    Of night windows

     

    But you're not coming home again, and I won't ever get to say

    "Remember how I'm sorry that I miss the way it could be"

    "Remember how I'm sorry that I miss the way it could be"

     

    Night windows
