Walnut Shell

Two lines upon the door frame
Four handprints on the wall
Six times they tried to find us
The seventh heard our call
Nine months swimming the same sea
Before we came to shore
At ten to twelve on Wednesday ninth
Nineteen ninety-four

We’re two halves of a walnut shell
What’s in you’s in me as well
Brother, won’t you come back slowly?
Take your time, you know we’re only
Over here if you get lonely

And when the world came calling
You knew we’d let you go
Two sides of the same coin
On two sides of the globe
Well I hope you’re met with kindness there
I hope you’ll strike your gold
Although we were born as halves
I hope you find what makes you whole

We’re two halves of a walnut shell
What made you makes me as well
Brother, won’t you come back slowly?
Take your time, you know we’re only
Over here if you get lonely

But now and then if you could ring
And let me know you’ve settled in
That you’re getting used to things
How your day ends as mine begins
And that you’ll call again real soon
And we still stare at the same moon
