There There - Stephen Bishop

Wide awake

dreaming of you

I watched my sky fall

I lost a photograph

of you,

laughing

Now I must learn how to crawl.

I think I’ve nearly lost my mind

Do you love me?

I ask, «Is there another man?»

and all you say is.

There There

There There

It’s been two weeks now

in my little hell

still you won’t say

where you are

I sent a telegram

to your Parental retreat

There is no refuge too far

I think I’ve really lost my mind

Do you love me?

I bought a ticket to your arms

and all you can say is there there.

There There

There There

The last obession

from my love career

I have to see you

Children are playing now

warm rain is falling

As we lay down on green grass.
