lyrics

a ladder leans precariously
the molding’s taped the tarping breathes
and whispers in a gentle breeze
that echoes in the vacancy

the cautious sound of feet to floor
they tip toe through the corridor
reverent as they explore
the empty walls and creaking board
so raise the roof beams high
taller still than tall am I

that static form of energy
that builds in possibility
and such a tiny spark we see
feel the tingle in your skin
it’s in the fabric as it clings

then you will pour a drink and sigh
bight your cheek and cry
and I will pull you close my dear
I’m here
and I will sing a song I know
that you know so well
and you will sing along
as long as your voice will hold

what’s the equation for a home
four walls, plus mortar brick and stone

the angular geometry
as light and shadows interweave
the seep into the cracks and eaves
ours is that slightly lived-in kind
that grows with use and over time
