Pray to no one, talk to someone
so I won’t feel alone
My fears were photos, my hopes Miros
Hanging in my room
I met so many people
All shadows and silhouettes..
But I hadn’t, I hadn’t met you yet
Like a red bird sputtering in the snow
How’d I forget to leave?
Ice was forming while I‘d been dreaming
Southward-bound dreams
In the stillness of that winter, my ways were firmly set
Still I held on, I hadn’t met you yet.
Clouds are gathering, over my head
No time for sleeping, no time to rest
Birds are swarming, skies are turning red
No time for sleeping, no time to rest
I hadn’t met you yet
Spring came silently, crept in quietly
Found me where I lay
From leaves soggy, steam rose groggy
Sunlight warmed the day
So I never got to meet you, never made from the net
I drank my fill of water, but my mouth was never wet
Gladly took the blindfold and the cigarette
I hadn’t met you yet
