Footprints on my lifeline*

Long after the morning after..



Your song undid me, dropped
My dress to the hardwood floor
Pulled us both far out, at sea
With the June waves beaching me

I feel your loss in my fingertips,
All along my hollow ribs
Your music echoes in my vowels
Humming through the never ending hours


We had no clever words to say
What we could have said, to lay
Our lives down, daring, free
At this fated, brave finale

I feel your loss in my fingertips,
All along my hollow ribs
Your music echoes in my vowels
Humming through the never ending hours


From out of town, you crashed
Into my life, rocked
The blues from between my toes
Composed
A silent movie from our prose
Transposed us both

You left a rainbow in the garden
Arcing tears and bubbling laughter
You left footprints on my lifeline
Long after the morning after

I feel your loss in my fingertips,
All along my hollow ribs
Your music echoes in my vowels
Humming through the never ending hours


Yeah footprints fade, however golden
Distant now, my music season
Heartbeats singing for today
More Indie, chasing fading blues away

You rocked the blues from between my toes
And left footprints on my lifeline
Footprints on my lifeline
Long after the morning after
Long after the morning after
