THE KNEE
My words are tired
they buckle at the knee
finding all the corners
and crashing into things
Oh but stay a little while
and sit with me
we could find a way
to talk without speaking
Hold my gaze a little longer
why else would you bother?
Oh I've had the most wretched,
awful day
I'd tell you all about it but
I just wanna sway
Come a little closer
Promise I won't hurt ya
How we gonna turn this
thing around?
I'll take the tiller and
you can take the bow
and we'll seek the quiet
tell me if you find it
