I’m so restless, I can’t speak
I’m waiting alone can you sit beside me?
On a city bench in the morning rush
staring at the backs of loading trucks
We could walk through the park on a rainy day
It’s so much prettier when everyone’s away
a delicate set piece just for us
and the man in the rain coat feeding ducks
Moments like this are so far between
as the seasons change and the car horns screech
and winter seals us in its tomb
if you lie next to me I can be there for you
When it gets above freezing we head up a trail
to a part of the mountain past the drunk teens’ wails
we peer at the city through the morning fog
us and the woman walking her dog
Moments like this are so far between
as colors change, and people retreat
I warm up my fingers and press on the strings
If I play you a song will you stay here with me?
At five o’clock when the sky goes dark
I walk alone and I head through the park
The ground is caked in snow and slush
there’s one kid on the ice rink firing pucks
Moments that were few and far between
as one’s feelings remain while one’s cease to be
On a sidewalk perch while the tourists scream
if I see you again will you sit next to me?
