THE LYRICS:
Monday
I sleep
With a pillow in my arms
Dreaming of wrapping around
A body that is warm
Pressed at my side
To remain
For a very very long time
Inhale…exhale…dream…
Breathe
like the winding of snow
Engines that drone on the road
You couldn’t unfreeze me
Couldn’t break stillness I keep
I would have been your challenge
Tuesday I sleep
With no lover
I'm tempered
and the things I feel
Have changed
There is no
pillow
There’s
no sparkle that wants to lie close
To no wicked
body
Only one
thing hasn’t changed
Tonight I'll
sleep alone again.
