Sickness
Seven times in the morning I greet the sun
Streaming in thru the cracks between the curtains
Snooze button, snooze button, snooze button again
It's nearly 8:30 when I pull myself up
Six times downstairs I check the pot
Which won't even bubble when I glance its way
Hiss, hiss, whistle, steam
Why bother with a kettle when it's only for one?
Five times in the car I nearly cry
on the thirty minute drive from my home
Sniffle, sigh, honk, swerve
Maybe I'm to much on automatic
Four times in the lot I want to give up
I say I'm to old for all of this pain
Step forward, backward, forward again
The truth is I am to young
Three times in the lobby I look at my watch
I wonder if they can tell I don't want to be here
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock
I sign my name with a pen made of bricks
Two times at your room I knock at the door
And my tired bones echo more then the wood
Knock, Knock, Click, Creak
There's no turning back now
One time a day I see your face
And can hardly believe that it really is you
Why, am, I , here
If your glassy eyes look right through mine?
