lyrics

everytime I sleep, the midwestern sunset fades into the soft blue underbelly of the sky.
everytime I sleep, gold is gold, and wood is wooden, the grass is still green and the birds still fly.
the wind tips heads off dandelions and wiggles the grass in that certain, odd way.

however, I would never go back. even if I could, I will never go back. even if you think that I should.
I am never coming back for as long as the forest is vast.
I promise that I won't be back no matter what my guilt asks of me, because...

your apple blossom tree still blooms every spring.
your cooking is still on the table.
your fragrance lingers on the folded family towels.
your hair is in the carpet, and your ghost is in the basement.
of that family home we inherited in 1993.
the sounds of your feet on the wooden floorboards, three feet above me.
you call me an angel as you peek your face through the slots in the wooden banister.
our puppy rolls on the ground just in front of your final step.

black coffee in a white cup.
your pale blue cardigan folded neatly on the kitchen table.
the furnace turns on, and you smile softly.
I'm okay. everytime i sleep.
