You Were Here

Are there no blinders on lights that glare White noise on the eyes From gas station lights and reflected ice glare So that I can walk home by moonlight Alone Or can we go out to where the wind howls and stand to lean up against the trees They've grown up so tall that you can't see the house It's a fortress now but you know how it used to be I can lie to myself And say I like it But I would love it if you were here These words on paper smell like you Associated in random thought On my lips the words turn blue Evidence I'm feeling lost I can lie to myself And say I like it But I would love it if you were here I'm just sad for myself Cause I know you're clear But I would love it if you were here I can just see you show me your garden I thought you'd grow roses and grapes on low vines I wanted to know you when we were both older I thought there'd be more of those wonderful times I can lie to myslef And say I like it But I would love it if you were here I'm just sad for myself Cause I know you're clear But I would love it if you were here You were here Yes you were Yes you were --- You Were Here - Sarah Harmer
