Main Street

Self-assured with a cold heart

I was sure the words had failed us

So roundabout I take the curtains down

Sweep beneath chairs, the unanswered prayersNow I'm haunted by a longing so early in the morning

It greets me without warningCoincidence I see you today

We small talk but time gets in the way

So I clip the clock's wings, we talk about smart things

Find myself smiling for the first time in daysNow I'm haunted by a longing this afternoon on Main StreetYou're smiling and oh, how apropos

I once had an ending but now I have the go

I laugh when you say, "Flowers say what they mean"

'Cause roundabout you say the funniest thingsNow I'm haunted by a longing so late in the evening

It greets me with a warning for life
