Companion

Thoughts shredded in the back of my head
All broken over something you said
And I hope by morning it’ll smooth on down
A half a mile from the tip of my tongue
Left sticky from the web that I spun
Dangling over this jagged ground
All my trust, the two of us
We both lie here in the bed we made
Loneliness, my companion tonight
Reaching out for the wind to ride
Hold me close as I turn out the light
And I’ll see you tomorrow in the morning
With the morning tide
Paint the city in yellow and brown
Mix the colors from the avenue’s sound
Make a portrait of your shameless eyes
You caress me when I’m starting my day
Snatch meaning from the words that I say
Feign solace in your pale disguise
All my trust, the two of us
We surrender now to the setting sun
Loneliness, my companion tonight
Reaching out for the wind to ride
Hold me close as I turn out the light
And I’ll see you tomorrow in the morning
With the morning tide
