Out there

OUT THERE (E A D G B E)

 

What’s it like out there? I cannot remember. I cannot recall.

Watching through the door. Everything is changing. The clouds are coming down.

 

And I thought this day must be ending. It never did. It never did.

I went to sleep and thought they would meet me. They never did.

 

What’s it like out there. I cannot pretend I remember how it goes.

Walking through the grass. It hasn’t been cut lately. I can’t see my toes.

 

The mountain melts and falls into our laps. Hold it there. Hold it there.

The mountain melts. We stand and then collapse. Leave us there.

 

And I see, out there, a figure slowly rising. Standing in the sky.

In between my thumb and forefinger, I can exactly where the darkness meets the light.
