Night Signs

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
 You have known me for decades
 It's something 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 that
 Surreptitiously
 I would give you my handouts
 Be a poet and breathe
 Stand in like with the people that broke you
 Your arms 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
