lyrics

January 2nd,
twenty degrees
ice in the garden,
crows in the trees
fire going steady on the kitchen stove
cup of black tea before you hit the road

Washing my hands clean,
water’s like snow
nothing I’ve ever seen,
seeing you go
(and you)
touch me on the arm in the living room
(and you)
tell me you’ll be back when it’s May or June

you’ll be back once I
clean up my room
(I tell myself)
you’ll be back when the
lilies-of-the-valley bloom
(I tell myself)

January’s over
slow and sore
my roommate’s got bad news
she closes her door
(and the)
wind is like water moving in the light
(and the)
radiator ribs heart beat in the night

and if you wait a little longer, until June or July
and if you don’t come back until the lilacs die
what does it matter, I’ll still see you soon
I’ll save you a picture, you can see them too

you’ll be here once I
see the flower moon
(I tell myself)
you’ll be back when the
lilies-of-the-valley bloom
