Do you put honey in your tea
Do you let it cool gradually
Do you feel the strange wash of time and memory
Have you made peace with your worst day
Ever kissed in a busy café
Are there things that you feel but you still don't know how to say
Brief as the light on wheels of hay
All that you've kept or given away
Questions that come before dark at the end of a day
Did you lose a lover or friend
Was there a story that just had to end
Did you finally learn what kept coming around again
Did you work in a bookstore
Are there things that you don't do anymore
Ever watch an oncoming train or gathering storm
Brief as the light on wheels of hay
All that you've kept or given away
Questions that come before dark at the end of a day
Did you say yes did you say no
Was it true or just wasn't so
Did you land hard or gracefully
Was it not what you planned
But right where you needed to be
Have you ever made a grilled cheese
Ever prayed down on your knees
Did you ever love a place that you still had to leave
Did you walk before you crawled
Have a dog when you were small
Did make it through but it was such a close call
Brief as the light on wheels of hay
All that you've kept or was given away
Questions that come before dark at the end of a day
