Wishing Chair: Music

Sidewalks

(Wishing Chair)
2005-05-18
Kiya Heartwood
We slip on the sidewalk
these cracks in time
all the wishes we left behind
what can we hope for
will we find our way
I’m not saving any souls today

Flesh and blood, mud and bone
I just want to walk you home

First ones up and the last ones in
we fall down and get up again
like a holy fool
or some crazy saint
I’m drowning in visions
and mistakes

Flesh and blood, mud and bone
I just want to walk you home

Betrayals
moments left on file
boxed in hours
unspoken trials
concrete faces
the forgotten touch
how can we hurt
the ones we love so much

If they see I love you
let them walk on by
we’ll leave our laundry
on the line
forgive my resistance
my fear of you
God bless the child who loves this true

Flesh and blood, mud and bone
I just want to walk you home
