At summer's ending You came home I gave you space for mending, your hair had grown Cards close gaps that I Left between us that night Didn't think you'd come from the coast Didn't think it'd hurt to sit close You've forgotten, and I can't remember when I was... Caught up, I called you over Having only half of what I should say We fell asleep last October When I left, you were lying awake Tracking down my thoughts As prairie evening turns to dawn While my eyes met with you as old friends said "I do" Forget the space you fill I'm half a decade less for living still But you'll still step outside...

Old thoughts will wash up like breakers Revealed in the light of the day You keep them rolled up in papers And the wind will blow them away Less you than I Still need time It was... Late night, I called you over Having only half of what I should say We fell asleep last October When I left, you were lying awake
