For Blue on Black

Waiting for things to come You wake to the morning sun Your book’s out, your light’s left on Here’s another one You’ve just begun She won’t let you call her phone Familiar became unknown You swim in the things you done You lost another one New life has come And on another ride on another night You take the feeling And now you’re kicking after another dive Towards the healing That has not set in We’ll I’ve done laps inside my room Fought currents of college rule But I broke out that endless pool Friend you can too Put down the bathing suit
