it’s just F and G though the entire song .

F G F G
i have lost you to sleep again .

F G F G
sleeping as we do on opposite sides of a venn diagram

F G F G
i read the time in shadows on the wall

F G F G
the shards of light through the slats on your window

F G
ah ha ha ha

F G
ah ha ha ha

i ease myself from under your languid arm ,
fumble on my boots and hear you breathe through your alarm
i disarm it for you ,
you rarely heed it anyway
i wouldn’t want it to intrude upon your dream ,
school bell ring messing up the play

ah ha ha ha!

a note , penned clumsily in this century’s type –
ruined hand saying gone down the shops for a walk
i’ll bring back some sandwiches and then i kiss your face ,
the black and the blue tie it into my laces ,
i don’t want the wander blocking up the view

ah ha ha ha!

i stumble out into the afternoon .
still salty from drink and the late night pool
i’ll be gone an hour at most ,
you will be more diagonal
i’ve a head on me in the post , i know ,
a castle swallowed in the swell .

ah ha ha ha! . . .
