Charlie

Sky silver and gold
Or so I have been told
But we don’t have the time to spend
Picture frames are breaking
Clocktower light shaking
Fallen time and time againJust sitting next to you
Was all I wanted to doStaring at the Sun
’Till I see it when it’s gone
Would you feel it if I held your arm
FFlower in your hand
Born again through fire and sand
When the bulb burns out
The glass stays warmJust getting old with you
Was all I wanted to do
Saying goodbye to you
Is something I can never do
But I can’t hold you down
If you wanna go
How can I say noWatch the garden rose
As it blooms and grows
From your window throne
Sinking like a stoneLetters saved for when we meet
Tell me all that you have seen
Mirror over your mouth
What do you dream aboutQuiet apartment, thinking you’ll be home soon
And pounding head making one out of two
Hair on the carpet, physical form of you
Living above the earth and MoonI’ll wear your ashes, carry a part of you
Around my neck, my arm for your tattoo
Healing old scratches, are not the end of you
A flower grows July through JuneAnd when you see it, how much is waiting for you
Beyond the stairs as sure as stars above you
Tenderly freeing, I will always love you
You’ll always be my baby blue
