Fall

When I was a kid
So obsessed with love
A word with permeance
You fall and don't get up

God was in the sky
The dog laid in the grass
But I can't fall asleep
I hold night in my hands

I watched you walk away
To change behind the door
Some new modesty
That wasn't there before

I can't hold you close
But we can't be the same
I won't stare at you
And not feel so ashamed

When the bombs are off
Will I be with you?
What time will the clock say?
Will the sky be black and blue?

My heart is not a rock
And it can't be still
And you are not a picture
You are just yourself
