blue jays

Now it's been a year
The snow has fallen and retreated
I can almost hear
Your voices ringing soft as velvet
Through the doorway
Like blue jays

I'd wake up to find
Hints of coffee spilt that morning
Books a mile high
Filled with teachings I'd ignore yet
Overflow with pride
For all the glory one might find
Through the doorway

I'd never go home alone
Swallowed by open hearts and
Never want for more
Chasing after who we are
I will never know
A stronger web of love whеre
I would gladly fall, gladly fall

Empty mason jars
Once aglow with gin on ice
Just strеwn across the bar
Remnants of the sweetest nights
Before we'd share the scars
Circled on the floor kneeling to cry in our own way

I'd never go home alone
Swallowed by open hearts and
Never want for more
Chasing after who we are
I will never know
A stronger web of love where
I would gladly fall, gladly fall
