about

This was composed in the wake of a break-up in Spring, 2006 just before moving to Brooklyn. The third verse is among my most successful ever.

lyrics

I see shadows through the blinds
Colors chan ging all the time
Fearlessly crouched beneath
Shoes on a power line
I wonder if he sees
The words you write for me
Doubtful he can sense
The feeling that you keep/these feelings that you keep…

I watch a white cat cross the street
Before peering back at me
Its black and spotted tail
Mindlessly flailing
And I wonder if it sees
The minute that he leaves
And I wonder if it minds
The hours that you keep/these hours that you keep

You’re forming plans to show him
The place we used to go
And listen to the rhythm
Of foaming water flowing
And I wonder when he breathes
Can he taste a trace of me
I hope he won’t spoil a thing
In this place we used to keep/this place we used to keep

I see shadows through the blinds
Colors changing all the time
Endlessly repeating
It’s okay babe, we’ll be fine/it’s okay babe we’ll be fine
