Dog Sketch

Dog sketch, tacked up On the wall where nothing was Looking down on me sitting here I should plan the evening But I can't get up Nor imagine a feeling Rained out last year Another try to fly you here From the low Atlantic sky Not a long affliction Not a lost fight But I miss the way that you Lean your head into mine Except I haven't a chance To get ahead on the things that I should get done tonight Outside a stranger like you Past the cars, down through the fading light The window's open and I see he's had a day like mine Thought I heard the door From the floor this morning Emptying boxes and folding them for Jane Turned out it wasn't I should've known But, would you try my phone again? Would you look up at my name? Except I haven't a chance To get ahead on the things that I should get done tonight Outside a stranger like you Past the cars, down through the fading light The window's open and I see he's had a day like mine Dog sketch, tacked up On the wall where nothing was Looking down on me sitting here
