| Lyrics |
she was shaking and talkinglouder and loudereach sentence was siftedto a very fine powderher face was wet and tighther grip was cold and lighta strong wind could blow you down
I heard myself sayword up sistera strong windcould take me away
I said how long haveyou been at largethey told me you were stashedlast time I askedshe said I've been out nowfor all of three hours
I just resurfacedand here you are
I must admitthat it has been hardso far
I said skeletons are fineyour closet or mineand we took turns recountingthe details of lost timeand when we had bothadmitted it allwe threw our heads backand laughed until we criedwe laughed because the worldis absurd and beautiful and smallthere we werewashed up on the curbas the rush hour trafficwent out with the tideand I was aware thatwith every word spoken and shared
I could see her shaking subside
I said sister looks to melike you're going to be fine
