The last time

THE LAST TIME (E A D G B E)

The words don’t come like I feel they should. If I was bad would you be good?

If I could cry. If I could ask. What would you think?

 

They’re singing now. I wish I was. Let’s sit outside. The sky is practically begging.

I’m looking out. Who’s looking in? Look what I found. It doesn’t mean anything.

 

If it was the first time that I got stung would you tell anyone?

 

This afternoon is so sweet it hurts. I’ll shut the blinds. I don’t want to know.

You go outside. Tell me what it’s like. Ask if the sky remembers my face.

 

If it was the last time the sun went down how pretty would it be?

As everyone comes out on the street. All our neighbours we didn’t take the time to introduce ourselves to.

And we’d say: Hi, it’s so nice to meet. What’s your dog’s name? No, we’ve got a cat. She’s an inside cat.
