about

Inspired by The Apartment, by Greg Baxter.

lyrics

You, with your dark, sleepless, eyes
Me, with my, silent disguise
You didn’t ask
I liked it like that
We didn’t need
The conversation
That we lacked
We just sat, and walked, in the silent snow
To me so beautiful
To you an old foe
And we fell into a swift intimacy
That suited you
That suited me
In a new coat and warm gloves
That meant that I wasn’t such
A foreign sight
I became, a new, occupation in your life
And you became my new disguise
And we fell into a swift intimacy
I stuck with you, you stuck with me
The Snow, keeps me off the ground
As I plant, my heavy feet
A face, unknown in this town
My past, is buried deep
And we fell into a swift intimacy
I stuck with you
And you stuck with me
