Go Home Now

I walked the distance of the steps you walked lightly,
turned and shuffled
saw your night bright
sky turn out the lights.

The glowing flowing black and white burned out the weekend,
and cherry soda wasn't all
that wasn't drunk...
We touched hands, watching on and nodding off.

Don't change the channel
there's a chance I'll push the button
on the one thing that moves you
in the place I've never known.

I'm not the man who went
and brought you to a stranger,
pushed you through the open window
and started up the car.

Go home now.

Before I trust you.

I'm not the man who went and brought you to a stranger,
and I don't want to be him
so lock the door behind.

..

I follow closely owing, knowing I will see you.
A dollar in my pocket
for the bread that brought you home.

When the first thing that happens
is a wink that turns a shoulder
the best that matters is a month of oh well.

Don't change the channel
there's a chance I'll push the button
on the one thing that moves you
in the place I've never known.

I'm not the man who went
and brought you to a stranger,
pushed you through the open window
and turned out the lights.

You're home now.

And I believe you.

I'm not the man who went and brought you to a stranger,
in time you'll know
that he still sleeps next to you.
