Loneliness

See the horses from my window
Bodies huddled and shape one shadow
Flowers open, slow then violent
Time is passing, I stay quiet

Loneliness, your letter came
You know my house, you know my name
Loneliness, I hear you call
From the kitchen, through the wall
Loneliness, alive and well
Is there someone I can tell?
Loneliness, you fill the day
I wish that you would go away, would go away

Everyone else seems surrounded
With people and purpose and things that ground them
Take me outside, shake the dust off
In the sunshine all is not –

Loneliness, your letter came
You know my house, you know my name
Loneliness, I hear you call
From the kitchen, through the wall
Loneliness, alive and well
Is there someone I can tell?
Loneliness, you fill the day
I wish that you would go away
Loneliness, I feel you breathe
Down my back, upon my cheek
Loneliness, I've had enough
Of moving slow, I want a rush, I want a rush
I want a rush, I want a rush

See the horses, from my window
Bodies huddled and shape one shadow
