landlady

roam

the phone is where i live til i get home

and when the doorbell rings you tell me that i have a key

i ask you

how you know it's me

the road

no road without a turn and if there was

the road would be too long

what keeps us standing in this view

is the view that we can be brand new

the landlady takes me up in the air

i go

i go where i would not dare

landlady shows me the stars up there

i'm weightless

weightless when she is there

and i'll never know

never know what starving poets meant

cause when i was broke

it was you that always paid the rent

space

her place is where i found my parking space

and when i'm losing ground

you know she gives it back to me

she whispers don't do
