When you get
there and
you have time to spare-
write me and say
that you’re okay
Home’s not the same--
When you left
you took its name.
Home is us--
Not me alone.
I dance with ghosts now
You know them all.
I’m still in love
With what we were
(not what is now)
I live in the past
though we know
memory won’t last
candle flame-
Tomorrow’s never the same
-------------------------------------- Break
And yes, I’m still
angry at you--
For taking
a precious thing
that belonged to we two
Leaving me,
you stole something
that wasn’t only yours—
We made it together
Not two hands, but four.
I believed
we were forever
I believed
in nothing more.
Just me alone now
dancing
with our ghosts.
Since you left
I’ve learned to be
their perfect host.
I be-lieved
we were forever
I be-lieved
in nothing more.
I dance with ghosts now.
You know them all
I’m still in love
With what we were
(not what is now)
