Tolerance
You could measure the effects of that time in light
A lamp could be the mark of something new
There were plants and frames and paintings invisible structure
She did conceal him with her quick arms
Her intent was the only thing that kept him there
And it was you
Who said she looked older
While it was me
Who stood by the door
But it was you
Who gave her the shelter
That she looked to him for
A worthwhile past-time but a sad ambition
Absentee notes in the next room with X
She should go out more and he should show some tolerance
Ah, big ridicule such little thing
Such grip on everything we have
On everything we have
And it was you
Who cried on her shoulder
And it was you
Who got lost and found
And it was me
Who said you should go there
And she should come along
Our coat tails drag marks
Old flings don't hold a candle
When the lights go out
at that civilised time
What do we have?
More poems
The emptier the better
And events in the future
Like a state of undress
Through that wintry air
Kiss news down the line
And here we are again
And it was you
Who cried on her shoulder
And it was you
Who got lost and found
And it was me
Who said you should go there
But it was you who gave her the shelter
A lamp could be the mark of something new
There were plants and frames and paintings invisible structure
She did conceal him with her quick arms
Her intent was the only thing that kept him there
And it was you
Who said she looked older
While it was me
Who stood by the door
But it was you
Who gave her the shelter
That she looked to him for
A worthwhile past-time but a sad ambition
Absentee notes in the next room with X
She should go out more and he should show some tolerance
Ah, big ridicule such little thing
Such grip on everything we have
On everything we have
And it was you
Who cried on her shoulder
And it was you
Who got lost and found
And it was me
Who said you should go there
And she should come along
Our coat tails drag marks
Old flings don't hold a candle
When the lights go out
at that civilised time
What do we have?
More poems
The emptier the better
And events in the future
Like a state of undress
Through that wintry air
Kiss news down the line
And here we are again
And it was you
Who cried on her shoulder
And it was you
Who got lost and found
And it was me
Who said you should go there
But it was you who gave her the shelter
