Sewing
I don't know quite where to begin I know it don't look like I'm doing anything A mess of scraps, colours clash, I know I'm sewing together a day From these hours and the way You touched my hand just now The things you say, and blue It don't look like much from here There's no straight lines, nothing that clear Aimless days, bad moods The changes I can't get used to I'm sewing together a year From boredom, from love, from fear And magnolia petals on the ground Pink on brown on the street Some people don't want to see the seams They want it all done by machine Straight and plain, no traces of making But no two days are ever the same Sometimes I get hit by a shattering pain I won't try to forget, I'm going to include it In this undulating thing Letras de cancionesThis blanket I seem to be making From pride and shame, beauty and guilt Sewing together a quilt Too late for perfection, to clean up the mess Too late to take it all back, I guess All I can do is sew it in to This undulating thing Whatever it is that I'm making with you, a life I'll sew in tonight too Too late for perfection, to clean up the mess Too late to take it all back, I guess All I can do is sew this in, too I'm dying the white colours blue I'm trying to show to you Something I saw and can't explain Tulips pushed over by rain I'm trying to cook a meal I'm hungry, I pull off the peel Of whatever sweet thing I'm holding Sink my teeth into knowing it well I'm walking from side to side I'm taking pictures of the sky again I don't know why, I guess I wanted to From Letras Mania
