The ceiling stares at me
Through the window
Streetlights glare at me
And I know, that they’ve known all along
I was wrong
Still nothing,
But the time on these hands,
Understands
Why I’m not crying
Even though my hearts trying to move one,
Nothing’s wrong
It’s just a shadow
It’s not a ghost
My heart ain’t haunted
No, not even close
I’m not standing around
Pacing holes in the ground
No I’m singing and tapping my toes
Tell me why are all of my
Favourite songs so sad?
Tell me why do they make me feel good instead of bad?
When the ceiling stares at me
Through the window
Streetlights glare at me
And I know, that they’ve known all along
I was wrong

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
