Tapped on the window from the inside
Just to hear the glass ring
And it sang out like a shark
Then went silent like a tiny frightened thing
And the small sun fell down through the treetops
And the small sun shattered on the snow
And the snow stretched out like a blanket
Like something I used to know
I let the memory slip away from me
I let my memory slip away from me
And the snow stretched out like a shroud
From our doorstep to the seashore
2rare “Q-Pid” (Live Performance) | Open Mic
And the new day, whatever it intends to be
Let my memory be erased irretrievably
The rain will fall on the old house now
A thousand miles away
In the sky sometimes I see a reckoning
When I’m cold and tired
And then the compass tilts like a sinking ship
Or spins like a thing gone wild
