Charlie

Sky silver and gold

Or so I have been told but

We don't have the time to spend

Picture frames are breaking

Clock tower light shaking

Fallen time and time again

Just sittin' next to you

Was all I wanted to do

Staring at the sun till

I see it when it's gone

Would you feel it if I held your arm?

Flower in your hand

Born again through fire and sand

When the bulb burns out the glass stays warm

Just gettin' old with you

Was all I wanted to do

Saying goodbye to you

Is something I can never do

But I can't hold you down

If you wanna go

How can I say no?

Watch the garden rose

As it blooms and grows

From your window throne

Sinking like a stone

Letters saved for when we meet

Tell me all that you have seen

Mirror over your mouth

What do you dream about?

Quiet apartment

Thinking you'll be home soon

And pounding head

Making one out of two

Hair on the carpet

Physical form of you

Living above the Earth and moon

I'll wear your ashes

Carry a part of you

Around my neck

My arm for your tattoo

Healing old scratches

Are not the end of you

A flower grows July through June

And when you see it

How much is waiting for you

Beyond the stars

As sure as stars above you

Tenderly freeing

I will always love you

You'll always be my baby blue
