Minding my own business
And this view from another window
Out there in the weird east
Birds on the wire
Exchange places
In here with me, the contours of the cool room
And the glass in my hand
Swirl me round and round
Taste of a woman I know
Just a stone's throw
But it steals me away
Desires collecting now
On the rim of this glass
Like feathered friends
Arrivals and departures
Truth is I picked up
That scent on a pillow
Miles ago
Head waking
From one night
In the place
I write from
The times I drank you in
Had one glow until
The whole f*ckin' place ignites
Or even a glimmer of light
Never enough making time
Then to savor you
Spending it all on the wire
I'll leave this crumpled page
In the tray
Burning words for someone else
To unravel
Borrowed glass won't fill me
With anything that fascinates
More than you tonight
I'll leave this crumpled page
In the tray
Burning words for someone else
To unravel
Borrowed glass won't fill me
With anything that fascinates
More than you tonight
Unless
I find
Another window
With a view
