out the window 
i can see the cat as she plays in the yard
what does she know
nothing or everything 

drifting below 
i can feel a soft aching desperate for air
i've got nothing 
to say to grief 

just when i am losing 
headlights through the blinds
your love is on time 

come in alone 
i wanna feel your body against mine at ease
not that i'm home 
not that i'll ever be 

through the window 
i can hear the cat as she howls in the dark 
you're still on top of me 

anything but human
just shy of divine 
your love is a light

hey i'm a stupid man 
for making you wait
time and again

hey would you understand if i wasn't 

caught in a storm 
in a lie
in a darkness 
my whereabouts 
would be wherever you are

and if i could only say to you
your love is a light

your love is a light

waking up in the morning
to a dream i'm living in 
where the day outside is gorgeous 
and the city limitless 

out the window 
i can see it all
moving right along
but like the pictures 
hanging on my wall 
i'm stuck in yesterday 

slipping on my weathered boots 
lighting a cigarette 
walking fast like i always do 
as if i'm late for an event 

staring down every passersby
all the folks i'll never 
taking bush all the way to hyde 
just like yesterday
