Today, Tuesday

Today is Tuesday I got your letter days ago It was printed out and kept in my purse As a substitute for the missing daylight Of a jetlagged insomniac I am back in this part of the universe It changed behind my back And the place where I left my centre Got lost in the action Oo-oo, isn't it one of life's blessings Oh-oo, isn't it one of life's blessings I do not remember the shape of my plan I do not remember the shape of my plan It's gone a little winterish here but no snow yet Only crispy grass freezing leaves to the ground After they've fallen down, as a taste of what's to come I'm having a new watchtower built Different but not quite So that the missing angles Might find their way home Oo-oo, isn't it one of life's blessings Oo-oo, isn't it one of life's blessings Spending my days trying to trust that they will Spending my days trying to trust that they will Survived that flight sleeping, it was days ago And in the buzzing unreality of airports The whole trip was reduced to a dream And stored in my head And in an ocean not so far away from here Your name's become a mantram on repeat The underwater-creatures in me Are chanting your name Oo-oo, isn't it one of life's blessings Oo-oo, isn't it one of life's blessings Do they remember the shape of my plan? Do they remember the shape of my plan? Do they remember the shape of my plan? Do they remember the shape of my plan?
