Lisa Hannigan - Venn Diagram Lisa Hannigan - Venn Diagram |
*** Autor textu: Lisa Hannigan *** Autor hudby: Lisa Hannigan | I have lost you to sleep again.
Sleeping as we do on opposite sides of a Venn diagram
I read the time in shadows on the wall –
The shards of light through the slats on your window
Ah ha ha ha!
I ease myself from under your languid arm,
Fumble on my boots and hear you breathe through your alarm
I disarm it for you, you rarely heed it anyway
I wouldn't want it to intrude upon your dream,
School bell ring messing up the play
Ah ha ha ha!
A note, penned clumsily in this century's type-ruined hand
Saying gone down the shops for a walk
I'll bring back some sandwiches and then I kiss your face,
The black and the blue tie it into my laces,
I don't want the wander blocking up the view
Ah ha ha ha!
I stumble out into the afternoon.
Still salty from drink and the late night pool
I'll be gone an hour at most, you will be more diagonal
I've a head on me in the post, I know,
A castle swallowed in the swell.
Ah ha ha ha! |
