I will rise up early and dress myself up nice

and I will leave the house and check the deadlock twice.

and I will find a crowd and blend in for a minute

and I will try to find a little comfort in it.

and I will get lonely and gasp for air.

and send your name up from my lips like a signal flare.



and I will go downtown, stand in the shadows of the buildings

and button up my coat, trying to stay strong, spirit willing.

and I will come back home, maybe call some friends,

maybe paint some pictures,

it all depends.

and I will get lonely and gasp for air.

and look up at the high windows, and see your face up there.
