Of Courtyards: Here [A SONG REVISITED]

in the key of G

for the girl who saved my life about a year ago

now the drinks are running low

the smoke clears the room

i alone sitting alone

wondering what's left to do

i pull out my arm, i put it up

toward the light

see my veins, they're running through

where my skin was tight

all in all i wish you were here

on the stairs i sit and wait

for a body i can claim

it's not a way to fill my plate;

just way to say your name

i pull out a light, i light it up

all alone

it moves on through and through and through

all throughout my bones

all in all i wish you were here

walk away, the sunset gleams

like fluorescent light

here and there, the streetlights seem

to divvy up the night

look at my hand, look at the scar

it makes a little face

complicated as we are

you put me in my place

all in all i wish you were here
