Everywhere You Look
You wake from a dream and stare into the blackness of the room. The window behind your head is open. A breeze, soft as hair, comes in through the curtains and touches
your chest. You remember her hair. A single strand was like the touch of fire against your skin. Is there a way to talk about this without seeming absurd? Her face in the dream is hard,
as if she is wearing a mask. As if the years of your life have been pressed into the image of the face that stares at you from across a table. It is mid-afternoon and the sunlight
over the tables and the traffic and the white awning that reminds you of a great, solitary wing anointed with oil, is heavy with a silence you wish Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com to touch, but always refuses you.
She watches her finger drawing an invisible sign on the table cloth. Everywhere you look are signs you cannot read. It has always been this way, from the waiter who shifts
his eyes away from yours, to the filthy river that sang to you more than any prayer you were forced to utter to a god you hated, to your mother's screams and your father's drunkenness. She lifts her eyes across
your forty two years to meet your gaze. She is the river, the snow fields, the neon in the rain. She is everything that has been taken from you and never returned. You lie in a room that she has never left and never will.
