Paper Straws

Until you come home
I'll be there
Just watering the flowers
Cleaning silverware
Thoughts, prayers and paper straws
They're searching for a place
Apologetic statues

You were silent
Reading Vanity Fair
Counting past the hours
Trying not to care
Crossword puzzles and the Berlin Wall
You're searching for a place
Maybe you'll get a tattoo

Until you come home
I'll be there
I suggested cribbage
You wanted solitaire
Dinner, drinks, and the names we called
I'm searching for a place
Everything said is taboo

Until you come home
I'll be there
Just watering the flowers
