Just Like That

You were all dark hollows and synergy
haunting melodies and weeping willow trees
thought you might be the one---leave the light on and never go
the voice calling from another room to come upstairs and say hello
throw your coat over the chair and rock me soft and slow
your old boots cast careless by the way
come lay beside me the rest of my days
hey remember all those lazy Sunday mornings
in bed listening to the radio drown out the warnings
closed my eyes and dreamt it were true
that I would always love you like I do
curled up and purring like a Siamese cat
that we could lay forever just like that
but I heard it in your voice, the music there unravel
whispers of the long dark road we’d have to travel
I would have given anything to make it alright
cross the world to be in your arms tonight
but I don’t even know you anymore
that life the people we were before
gone. Just like that. Gone.
