Before the Words Escape Me

from Nothing Is Lost by Amber Dust

/

lyrics

nestled in the tree line
a haven sits alone, removed from all
a solitary window
but there's simply little need for looking out

just finding a space
on that familiar floor
that closeness is
just what I'm aching for

quiet, as the stereo screams

lying flat-backed
down in a covered pickup, stowed away
fading in and out
straddling the border of conscious

I'm grateful for the evidence
a notebook of our musings
an inadvertent roadmap
equipped with fresh ambition

Bends weaving in
long embedded details

you'll never know, how crucial your timing was
these perfect examples of solitude breeding sentiment
Fighting sleep, to conserve every minute
it's a shame to waste any single frame that's offered to me

and while my eyes may burn,
they're not preventing me
from noticing the way
you've tempered what I see

Climbing up the fire escape, escaping into your room
