eleven thirty five on a wednesday

Forty nine degrees

I left the front door wide open

And I drove down to Westport

Salt water therapy

Calm, cool, collected

This ocean, this ocean it comforts me

When I’m alone

When I’m alone

And she said

When it’s a big love

It’s like a building

Puts you high up over everything

But the panoramic view

When people leave you

Becomes a painting that’s worth nothing

When you’re alone

When you’re alone

And you were like the ocean

You were strong like the sea

But my love was like a boat I was building

But never could complete

And now these thoughts just keep returning to

What we used to be

And they are settling in quite nicely

They are always close to me

When I’m alone

When I’m alone

11:35 on a Wednesday

And you’re not here with me

And I will stare at this picture

Of you smiling, smiling back at me

Calm, cool, collected

This picture, this image it comforts me

When I’m alone

When I’m alone
