Wherein Obscurely
Joe Pernice
Your coloured eye and a lipstick voice
And a cough you could never shake
I thought I'd find you in that place
Don't wake from a restless sleep
And the plan you could never make
The evening sunlight on your face
And then it fades
Find me
I'm sick and I can't escape
The way the sunlight touched your face
And then it fades
There were so many times
I had to wake you from crying
So many times I could not make you cry
I hope to find
Your feet on the headboard, eyes in the moon
I always think of you that way
