piano magic – when you leave me alone lyrics
i’m okay for a couple of hours and then, like a fog, your absence erases all the details
and i can’t keep warm so the kettle’s always brewing and the cups pile up around the sink, marking the hours
i reposition inanimate objects so that they have a better view of the garden and i move ornaments so that their shadows are more pr#nounced
i stay awake until the early hours watching minor westerns; anything to avoid getting into a cold, empty bed
i play the records you always find too melancholy # red house painters, stars of the lid
forget to take my medicine
and then i walk up the hill and stand on the street corner in all weathers as if, like a lighthouse, i can somehow miraculously show you the way back
the clock sometimes seems to hold the seconds and the sky sometimes seems to hold the birds
when you leave me alone, i become who i was before # a two piece jigsaw with one piece missing
i plug in to the old answering machine to listen to friends i’ve lost
their voices are like nettles on the heart
and in the bar you don’t like, i talk about you too much and i know i’m talking about you too much but i can’t shake you cause i don’t want to shake you
i wear the same shirt for days, don’t shave, sleep on the couch
i spend hours watching the dust in sunlight, thinking: will this dust last longer than both of us?
when you leave me alone, i retract
i’m okay for a couple of hours and then, like a fog, your absence erases all the details
and i can’t keep warm
