The Ophelias - Night Signs

I want so badly to whisper to you
Crawl inside and live where you live
How often do you cry?
I can see the reasons if I look closely

I'm too lonely to sleep
You have known me for decades
It's something we knew
Going into a life it would not continue

You take me to the same place each time
We walk with our hands up, night signs
You smile at the full moon, nice try
You know what you're doing and you know I'm right

You mean nothing to me
I wish that I could really mean that
Surreptitiously
I would give you my handouts

Be a poet and breathe
Stand in like with the people that broke you
Your arms guiding my mind
Back down to an old black line

You take me to the same place each time
We walk with our hands up, night signs
You smile at the full moon, nice try
You know what you're doing and you know I'm right

You take me to the same place each time
We walk with our hands up, night signs
You smile at the full moon, nice try
You know what you're doing and you know I'm right
