In five minutes, or maybe two   there'd be one thing to do   He'd be waiting on the line   or else walk with her if he had the time      She got out her purse and took out her phone   and called him up early to see if he was home      but there's nobody here this time   it said, how could she be sure   that he didn't forget   because the buildings are too tall   but it split across the middle   then there's no building at all      she couldn't see a place   where a walk would make a difference   there's only so much that i can take   when you start talking business      why don't we let it all fall down today   and then see if we miss it   why don't we let it all fall down today   and then see if we miss it      she brushed her bangs from off her face   closed her eyes and sighed a lot   put the chair in its place   once again, he had forgot      she put the candle back in its drawer   the one she'd used some other time   and she waited for the sad to fade   and something else to fill her mind      because the buildings are too tall   but they split across the middle   and there's no building at all      no building at all   no building at all   no building at all
