Five - Matt Dusk

Just five minutes to your house

It took five hours to say goodbye

Five weeks to wonder why

And five months of just rain

I had a path

That led me home

It gathered no moss

But now I’m alone

There was five minutes without air

Five hours without meaning

Five weeks without insight

And five months 'till I sing

No simple words

No warning signs

To pause for justice

No peace for a while

It’s been a year

I see that you’ve called

I’ve braved my first winter

This chapter is closed

I’m gonna fly

Out of this town

I’ll love again in time

And fall like a stone
