lyrics

My summer home is filled with books and movie posters,
Whiffs of things we used to share.
My summer home is filled with lots of boxes of
Clothes and wigs I used to wear.
My summer home opens out on a lake where we used to
Swim, now it’s just frozen air.
Fitting itself in the corners and floor boards and cupboards
Of teapots hand painted with care.

My phone starts to ring as I wander the halls.
I listen robotically to my voice on the end of the call:

“They’re gone now. They’re gone now. Come home, put your key in the lock.”
“They’re gone now & you know they’re gone now. Come home, put your key in the lock.”
“I will be waiting right here.”
“I will be waiting right here.”

I step outside. Breathe in crisp winter deeply.
My soul anguished with the thought of you leaving.
I pack up my car. Take one last look around,
And when I blink, it’s all gone. It is just fertile ground.

I imagine a garden planted after the last froze.
The flowers would bloom and twist toward the warm sun.
For now there’s nothing but the lake and the sweet winter snow.
I bless the ground with a kiss and then turn around to go.

My car hits the pavement with that old familiar hum.
I turn the radio on, and I hear the chorus has begun:

“They’re gone now. They’re gone now. Come home, put your key in the lock.”
“They’re gone now & you know they’re gone now. Come home, put your key in the lock.”
“I will be waiting right here.”
“I will be waiting right here.”
