First Time In Vermont

"it is easy to promise, and alas! how easy to forget!"
-alfred de musset

chasing words
are you still frightened
heard you called
caught my wanderings
thought they'd see
see it my way

broken words
i am frightened now

we could stand together if i'd just speak out
we could find a meaning on this torn blue couch

broken mouth
a fortune to make up
sickened heart
all for you my love
thought you'd see
see it my way
in turn
we'll sing out loud

we could stand together if i'd just speak out
we could find a meaning on this torn blue couch

in my head the reasons are all on display
i could tell you everything but not today

please don't ask why till we rise
your dreams are mine
