John & Mary Your Return
I'd wondered if you'd mind me
Sitting here along the step,
I'd wondered if you'd mind me
Looking for your silhouette.
I counted tiny lights through cracks in the wall
For a little while a solitary day passed by.
I sat on the corner
A double rainbow in the sky,
I sat on the corner
Where yesterday we said goodbye.
My drawings on the sidewalk now disappear
For a little while a solitary day passed by.
You asked me the time and I said to you:
'Look at the clock over there...'
But then you went away, I had nothing to say
But I waited for your return.
A voice whispers softly the written word
The hope you gave,
A voice whispers softly
From penny poems always saved.
Behind the church a heart of snow melts to tears
For a little while a solitary day passed by.
You asked me the day and I said to you,
'Look at the wall over there...'
But then you went away, I had nothing to say
But I waited for your return.
For your return.
