Night Signs - The Ophelias

I want so badly to whisper to you

Crawl inside and live where you live

How often do you cry?

I can see the reasons if I look closely

I’m too lonely to sleep

Death has known me for decades

It’s something that we knew

Going into a life, it would not continue

You take me to the same place each time

We walk with our hands up, night signs

You smile at the full moon, nice try

You know what you’re doing and you know I’m right

You mean nothing to me

I wish that I could really mean it

Surreptitiously

I would give you my handouts

Be a poet and breathe

Stand in line with the people that broke you

Arms are guiding my mind

Back down to an old black line

You take me to the same place each time

We walk with our hands up, night signs

You smile at the full moon, nice try

You know what you’re doing and you know I’m right

You take me to the same place each time

We walk with our hands up, night signs

You smile at the full moon, nice try

You know what you’re doing and you know I’m right
