SONG/ECHO ON

ECHO ON 

See my loss 
buried deep inside the pages of your book 
ink stain pains and faces of my life 
but you're saving all the paper for the fire 

and at night
i'm calling out to strangers in the square 
and in the fading light I see them 
gathered there
i shout above the masses but they're sleeping 

calling out for light 
voices on the wire 
three dots, three dashes, three dots 
echo on 

and in the dark 
I'm reaching out for edges 
I cannot see
I roll around and tumble 
Stumble on 
a city fool out fumbling in the night 

a broken heart 
in all the right places
takes my hand 
and leads me on so eager 
like a song
something she just whistled in the hall 

calling out for light 
voices on the wire 
three dots, three dashes, three dots 
echo on
