I don’t want to wear a sweater I just want to rid the air of cold cold weather Feel the sun a little better Is that the wind I hear Whipping through bare branches Slapping hard against this Wall as blank as canvas I can feel the cold leeching through the bricks and skin Reaching to chill the heart that’s weak within I can’t think of anything I’d rather have right now than you Maybe a fire A kettle of tea Would you bring those here with you to me? I don’t want to brave November Drawing near the close of things just makes me bitter I’m not getting old, they say, but I know better Is that the clock I hear Ticking through the night hours Making the sunrise taste sour Pulling on the fading flowers I can feel the years leeching through bricks and skin Reaching to chill the heart that’s weak within I can’t think of anything I’d rather have right now than you Maybe a blanket And an emptying of memory Would you forget the bad times here with me?
