She folds her arms up nicely 

Lays them down Upon the table 

Wipes her mouth off as she 

Tries to find another word for love 

She hangs her skin up by the 

Window looks to see that all the 

Doors are open 

The She sits alone and 

Wonders where you've gone 

I counted your lingering 

I counted time between thunder 

And lightning 

I counted into silence, counted chickens, 

Counted sheep, counted 1,2,3,4,5,6,7... 

Upstairs she hears the space 

Between the words you never said 

She licks the tiny stone she gave herself 

And swallows all her worry 

Won't you leave me forever, won't you leave 

For good?
