Sarah

She wore
A yellow scarf tied around her neck
And I'm sure
It had all of the reason to be there
And she woke
With the kind of light you'd never care to see
And I waited
For so long that it overtook me

I swore
That I would never end up like the ones
Who moved
To California looking for the sun
But I broke
In the kind of way I never thought I would
And I'm painting
Every day just like you said I should

I fell
In love with Sarah every single day
Her curls
Her money, and her particular ways
And I sat
And watched her as she squared it all away
And I hope that
I can walk around like her someday

She wore
A yellow scarf tied around her neck
And I'm sure
It had all of the reason to be there
And she woke
With the kind of light you'd never care to see
And I waited
For so long that it overtook me
