sometimes i can't read you
as clear as i used to
i've used all my visions up
sometimes i don't want to
know what i am onto
the premonitions have washed up
like a wave of water
like the way i thought of you
i can't get it back
at times i don't know how
ever to cancel out
all the times i'm gone then back
at times you don't see how
short you stay in the now
only to slowly turn your back
like a wave of water
like the way you ought to be
and there and back
long time, no see
i don't know what you think of me
i can't read you as clear as i used to
long time, no see
i don't know what you need of me
all my visions washed up right in front of me
like a wave of water
like the way things ought to be
i can't get them back

I Hope You Leave

i hope you leave after me
because i'd hate to be without you
you know i hate to see an empty room
and i hate to see you go
i hope you leave nothing behind
to make things easier for me
i don't need the clutter, the heartbreak, the mess
how i'd survive is anybody's guess
i hope i leave before you
but if we have to go at all
let's make it last, make it flourish and fall
in a graceful leap back home
to where we came

i draw my hands from the pile that you made
i don't want any of it, i don't want any of it
i draw the curtains around in a crescent
like you think it's a present, do you think it's a present?
i've pulled the blinds back, again and again
was a fool to believe, was a fool to believe
i find the bind i was in is undone
can you blame me for not being present?
waxing waning hoping holding wanting waiting to-ing fro-ing knowing throwing catching hatching unlatching finding unbinding winding losing fusing bruising

Ridiculously cute fanciful French folk. Dare you to resist the charm of the boom-biddy-boom singalong.
