Hand @ The Hem Lyrics

by Richard Buckner

And, so All-Cure-&-Comfort:
Where's the bed I called you for?
From the futon on the floor
to your backroom (twice-refused),

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e46889-richard_buckner~hand__the_hem_lyrics.html ]
do you keep somebody silent?
I saw you as you slipped.
I came up close & counted through all those fasted hours I nearly miss.
But, when was your runner down and waiting?

And did you mean what it meant?

(a bitter note while) The shadows bicker
and all of a sudden we're on the wall
where some torch has left us.
But, could it mean less @ all?,
talked up & crying on the wire?;
trying to muster up a spark?
Well, it's been off alone again
in the clouds & in the darkness.
When was your runner down and waiting?

And did you mean what it meant?

Ground down from the heels-up:
I've been in this mood before
(a red flame w/ no blade to blame
& a fire @ the door).

When was your runner down and waiting?

And did you mean what it meant?
