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 un-answered prayers

Now i'm haunted by a longing so early in the morning
It greets me without warning

Coincidence
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 days

Now I'm haunted by a longing, this afternoon on main street

You'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"
Roundabout, you say the funniest things

Now I'm haunted by a longing so late in the evening
It greets me with a warning
