At the end of a year
At the end of some tears
It appears, we've only known
One memorable hello
There in the street
Numbered days at our feet
A man putting coins in your hand
We hover and pass
And later at last
I put a small kiss on your cheek
But I'm not even fooling me
With all of this vague secrecy
A common bird sings
For the dawn as it brings
New light to the love she has known
Blossoms they bloom
Grow and push through
The soft parts of the ground
One memorable hello
Kiss my cheek, but then go
I'm not even fooling me
With all of this vague secrecy
I'm not even fooling me
With all of this vague secrecy
Christa and I go way back, it's true. She sings truer than any and with the vulnerability in joy and sorrow that will charm you in your secret places. Jess Hill
