Ruins

RUINS Sitting at the bar counter I watch the whiskey in my glass Distant memories won’t drown but still more clear come to surface, I’m down It still seems to me to hear (the sound of) your little feet on the floor I hear your lies in my head I’m Stumbling to the door I remember a night of fragile loving touches the strong scent of cigarettes Without even noticing I squeeze the glass until it breaks the bartender looks at me silently I leave him my dirty money Now that you’re gone away There’s nothing more to say BRIDGE: I can’t forgive you but I can't help but wait for you Rit. The emptiness of your silence settles in my stomach The breath of the night cut the distance like a knife The emptiness of your silence settles in my stomach The breath of the night cut the my ache like a knife I can barely walk in the middle of the road I wait for the poor wretch who is going to kill me with a knife edge A fast car, headlights blinding me brakes screaming.. the car skid.. smash I recall your face Your beautiful embrace Bridge: Now I think I can forgive you My lifeless body waits for your tears too Rit. The emptiness of your silence settles in my stomach The breath of the night cut the distance like a knife The emptiness of your silence settles in my stomach The breath of the night cut the my ache like a knife
