I remember my mother's   Sister's husband's brother   Working in the goldmine full time   Filling in for sunshine      Filing into tight lines   Ordinary beehives   The door screams, 'I hate you, hate you'   Hanging around my blue jeans      Why is there no breeze?   No currency of leaves   No current through the water wire   No feelings I can see      I trust no emotion, I believe in locomotion   I've turned to rust as we've discussed   Though I must have let you down too many times   In the dirt and the dust      I have no idea how this happens   All of my maps have been overthrown   Happenstance has changed my plans   So many times my heart has been outgrown      Now everybody's feeling all alone   Can't tell you who I am   When everybody's feeling all alone   Can't tell you who I am      I am looking forward   Toward the shadows tracing bones   Our faces stitched and sewing   Our houses hemmed into homes      Trying to be thankful   Our stories fit into phones   And our voices lift so easily   A gift given accidentally   When we're not sure we're not alone
