Lost my train of thought around Chicago

Found a little sawdust where you lay

Never made collages as a young child

Not that much to see So much to say

Now even in this silence there's a thunder

And rain that steals the breath beneath this cage

And at least I've got your memory to soothe me

This bitter poison ripening with age

Because everything I've ever done I've done because I love you

Silly you should ask

I'm afraid that I'll spend the better part of next year scared that i might need you

Bring me down and I'll feel again

Everything I've ever done I've done because I love you

Sideways

Lost my patience well before West Fourth Street

Found a copper coin, said "Seize the Day"

And I let the angry audience surround me

Hiding as I screamed "Give o'er the play"

And now even in this thunder there's a silence

A shred of comfort standing at my door

And at least I've got the sense to reconstruct you

And leave me twice as lucid as before

Chorus

And you left your mark

And you left your face in the corner of my mind three times

You left your mark

You left yourself

And at least i've got the sense to sense what's coming

And realize that good things never come to those that wait too long

Chorus
