In My Tribe

Like the Weather

The war is over now 
Armor down on the bedroom floor 
No heavy sighs, no furrowed brow 
No one’s keeping score anymore. 
The silence isn’t empty my love 
It’s heavy like a winter quilt 
We finally rose above 
The city that our anger built.

I could call you 
I could write 
I could ask you 
how you sleep at night 
But asking is a distance, too 
And I already know the truth of you.

Oh, we built a shrine of what remains 
Safe from the wind and rain 
We don’t need a river with a different end 
We don’t need to break what will not bend. 
I hold your shadow, 
you hold my name
There is so much intimacy, 
In never speaking again.

I know you’re waking up right now 
Pouring coffee in that silly cup 
I know you’re staring at the clouds 
Waiting for the sun to show up. 
You know I’m walking by the sea 
You know the songs I’m listening to 
You don’t have to check on me 
To feel the way I carry you.

Oh, we built a shrine of what remains 
Safe from the wind and rain
We don’t need a river with a different end 
We don’t need to break what will not bend. 
I hold your shadow, 
you hold my name
There is so much intimacy, 
In never speaking again.

Words are just clumsy maps 
For places we have already been 
If we start talking, we might collapse 
We might let the chaos in. 

So I will not dial the phone 
And I won't knock on your door 
You are the deepest thing I’ve known 
And I don’t need to ask for more. 

I hold your shadow, 
you hold my name
There is so much intimacy... 
In never speaking again.
