I pieced a life together
Pulling at times from four corners with the clothes
And nothing felt intruded upon

But in Sam's brain
He couldn't get past the first blow
I didn't come at all

Sleep well when I left
Drunk when I got home
Never doing much
Just staying warm

But he moved me in the Astro
Put me in the car back in Ohio
With the body cold
And I nearly cried

And he watched right over me with his words and his torch
And I loved him, but your escape gave me a question

"How can I spend the visit helping him
When my heart ain't in order?
How would we watch a fountain in the rain?
How could I ever ask you to stay?"
