Together

You were a nightmare

And he was night light

On in the bathroom

I was washing my face

The world around me

Slowly falling

Back into place

You were a dead heat

And he was the light rain

Drenching my sweater

And kissing my cheek

No umbrella

But I was in no

Hurry

And

Ooo0o0o0o

The way he picked up after

You

And held the pieces

Together

You were a red light

And he was highway

Empty in summer

While my favorite song played

And when the night came

We reached California

And skinny dipped in the bay

And I was a

Fool

Who thought the world ended with

You

But I kept the pieces

Together
