A)

It's gotten late, and now I want to be alone.

All of our friends were here, they all have gone home.

And here I sit on the front porch

watching the drunks stumble forth into the night.

You gave me a heart attack, I did not see you there.

I thought you had disappeared so early away from here

And this is the chance, I never got, to make a move

But we just talk about

The people we have met in the last 5 years,

And will we remember them in 10 more?

I let you bum a smoke, you quit this winter past.

I've tried twice before, but like this, it just will not last.

Make Light

And you said, it was like fire around the brim

Burning solid, burning thin the burning rim

Like stars burning holes right through the dark,

Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes

You were one inch from the edge of this bed

I dragged you back, a sleepyhead
