Tether
Sarah Harmer

Living this close to the road
You question your vulnerability
Got the curtains closed
And there's nothing for those bold coyotes to see
Just an airplane in the sky that I hear
High up the chimney
And the lonely cold coming up
To find a warmer place to be

After that Christmas
I think that I might sleep the whole new year
Maybe see if in the spring I can come in
For an afternoon glass of beer

You know I always thought that there'd be
lots to talk about
But I never see you
And I still look when I go out

bah dah dah dah dah dah
bah bah bah bah

Always so much that feels undone and waiting
A pocket's gaping threads to weave
On the top of a pile another melody is aching
For a few pretty words to let it be

Simple tether hold this together at least to one place
So the feelings can escape into the air
Cuz if they do we won't remember
That they were even there
And fill the moment that we had to spare
That we had to spare
