I Walk These Streets

Do you watch for me,
Out of the corner of your eye
Calculating the odds
Of my walking in
To a place I never went to
Without you

Do you make lists in your head
Of all the things
You would like to tell me
If things had been different
And you and I
Still closed our day together

Do you wake up from dreaming
That my hands
Were on your skin again
Your face against my shoulder
And you no longer had to regret
The kisses that never happened

Or is it just me.

Change the Needle LP

I meant what I said
When I said goodbye
I opened the walls of my heart
and I set you free

I went through the motions
Of missing you
But the music inside me
Was anything but sad

So we danced like old lovers
And we talked like old friends
And we closed our eyes
To rest against each other

And the dawn came slowly
But when I opened my eyes
The music inside me
Was singing with your voice.
