This Thread is a Green Street
Something about these pink weeping trees
brushing my shoulder blades right before rain
is a doorway.
Do you know, where did it go,
the other land in the heart?
I draw a map, that I can start to get there.
I try to find a side doorway to these things.
Daily there have been kind people.
And back to them shine these beams of longing.
Do you know, where did it go,
the other land in the heart?
I draw a map that I can start to get there.
This thread that will mend your sleeve again
is a green street I walk, between clouds,
saying out loud that I miss you,
that I miss you.
Sometimes this is a green street I walk down.
And leaves crown me a friend,
and I walk down.
