lyrics

Today I get up early, make the coffee, and go back to bed
For a while.
Get back up, delete some email, drink the coffee, think about the groceries
I need to buy.
I’m doing all the things I do
On all the days when I don’t hear from you.
And wonder when waiting ceases,
When a day is just what it is—
Life I live, your silence.
Life I live, your silence.

Check my phone, check the mail, check the laundry, check my hair—
Nothing’s changing.
Walk a circle, take a breath, tell myself to stop and then
Start again.
I’m doing all the things I do
On all the days when I don’t hear from you
And wonder when waiting ceases.
When a day is just what it is—
Life I live, your silence.
Life I live, your silence.


That was another time,
you and I like two trees falling
I envied you your twisted roots,
you coveted my poise.
We f_lled each other time and again,
took to it like a calling.
We two, alone in the woods,
no one there to hear our noise.

So I’m doing all the things I do
On all the days when I don’t hear from you.
And I’m saying all these thing I say,
And only I know I said them all yesterday.
And I wonder when waiting ceases.
When a day is just what it is.
Another day of empty spaces.
Maybe that’s all that a day is.
Life I live, your silence.
Life I live, your silence.
