Smudge
walking together, walking apart
it happens now or never every time sometimes in my heart
forget some things, remember others
a strange bell rings and the ring just hovers
the room that still nudges all hope to be hoped
flicking light buzzes on everything almost
new smudge on the smudges, new smear on the smear
the wheel never budges but theres no need to steer
is making love only going for a swim
feel all wet and lonely and get all dried out again
ripples spread out and secrets float
as the air gets let out of another sinking boat
and it just keeps going, if it's done it's done
still flow in the flowing all around the sun
so happy and sad for anything that tries
spinning wheels in the sand and treading waters on the rise
boxes piling on the morning dew
children smiling like they haven't got a clue
kisses kissed on a passer by
new tripper trips on the old tripwire
and songs keep playing out
days keep fading out
faces keep trading out places to keep waiting out
something coming around some bend
waiting for something to never end.
