lyrics

Oh, all the time now
My hands smell of coffee
But the air doesn’t smell like spring
If I lean from the window
I can almost net the sunshine
But the light is still so thin

Every day now
I open the window
To let some new air in
The bedroom is thick with
Layers of history
The winter brought with him

And I don’t know what the birds told you
I’m convalescing just fine
It’s just these winter winds
Underneath my skin
I guess it’ll just take some time

Tell me good morning
I’ve got a story
Twisting up inside my brain
I’m biding my time
I’m borrowing lives
Till the summer opens me up again

And Mr Eliot was wrong, you know
As months go, March is much crueller
I spend all of my time
Waiting in line
Waiting for someone to hand me a future

Oh, all the time now
My hands smell of coffee
I can barely hear myself thinking –
