Time's Arrow

So you watch the sunrise sinking and she's talking in her sleep

A dream of how alone she was tomorrow when you keep

All those promises to someone in a mirror you will find

At your parents' house in 1989

Terrorized

By the ruling party, calendars and commas

Small request

Could we please turn around and around and around?

Turn around

So you whisper your arrival walking backwards to the door

Wonder briefly what it is you're hesitating for

All the streets lie down, deserted in the darkest part of night

To lead you through the evening to the light

Pulled along

In the tender grip of watches and ellipses

Small request

Could we please turn around and around and around?

Turn around
