Your magnetic skin
So shiny and proud
Your feet in the doorway
Your head in the clouds

Eternity’s nesting
In the palm of your hand
Like a wild desert flower
Like a grain of sand

I’m looking through
Your lovesick eyes
Galvanized, weary
Dry and wise

Taken all your vitamins
We’ve still got time to kill
I’m counting shadows on the wall
You’re running up the hill

Hurry on, darling
Don’t miss your flight
Wherever you’re going
I promise I’ll write

Rainy nights
They have gone by
But my boots
Kept me dry
