Swallowed Snakes

Sometimes I wish you would just appear before me on the street
Like a ghost in the dust
Coming up out the sidewalk
Waiting for me. My stomach’s tied in knots

I swallowed snakes before I came here today
And I just want to know the stakes of loving this way
If the sun shines through the window
I’ll let you go
If you really want to go, I’ll let you go
But you should know
I believe in a love that faltered years ago
I carry it up my sleeve, waiting for the time to watch it blow away
You should know that the window’s always clear here in Los Angеles
And still I don’t see all the places you go. Whеn you’re near me
I can only guess. If the sun shines through the window
I’ll let you go
If you really want to go
I’ll let you go. If you really want to go
I’ll let you go. If you really want to go…
