Marty O’Reilly & The Old Soul Orchestra - The Doorframe
There's a heart left sleepless,
by the angry bed frame just up the stairs,
thoughts that knock the skull numb,
of an inamorata extraordinaire,
alone in exploration,
inebriated by every inch so new,
drunk lovers,
clearly still lovers,
clearly still drunk too
climbing footsteps,
and passing laughter...
if only echoes amounted,
hold onto the doorframe,
because these old bones
have seen more than the days
that they've counted...
Sounds like a coyote on the roof,
the lights flicker off and on again,
even after in the silence,
the turmoil is metropolitan
climbing footsteps,
and passing laughter...
if only echoes amounted,
hold onto the doorframe,
because these old bones
have seen more than the days
that they've counted...
Strange how we sometimes envy each other's weaknesses...
