you called today
i was silent and listened politely
you talked of change and all things new
i sat there dumb, thinking sweet things about you
you talked of your new romance
my silly heart sank , there goes my chance
you asked how i was
i gave you a vague idea of my life
I have a pet now, and i am a wife
you congratulated , what else to do
i listened to you
i listened to all your noise , your fading voice
i found a place for me and i hope you find a place too
for my sake and yours too
this is what we were both always searching for , wasn't it?
a man, a woman, to shelter us from ourselves, a place to hide from our storms.
