a rough iphone demo of a new-ish song i wrote.

lyrics:
morning sunlight through the window
gentle upon me while i wait
a shitty diner cuppa coffee 
will give me some company 
in your place
then i’ll be on my way

cause there’s no room for two where i’m goin
but i’ll be seeing you all the same
in the cascading fields 
where nothing’s growing
in the whole world’s empty space

would you pull the covers tight and come in real close
if we could close our eyes and wake in 30 years
oh, in all that in-between
we might find home in the dream
far away from here

i’ll write a song of devotion
and sing it alone in my room
for my laundry, and the sleeping dog
and that picture of the ocean
then once i’m finished
there’ll be nothing left to do

or maybe one day soon, i will step out
and catch you with an ear against the wall
but i can’t put nothing on you
and your hanging around
so i’ll keep walking down the hall

would you pull the covers tight and come in real close
if we could close our eyes and wake in 30 years
oh, in all that in-between
we might find home in the dream
far away from here
