Futures

Bring down the cool gray water
Voices back on the lawn
Need to change that filter
Where are those leaves blowing from
Goes in a pile by the poolhouse
Watching the glass by your shoes
Like I'm swimming in seltzer
Diving into the blue
You never mentioned leaving
Just been up there speaking with your boy
A little place tomorrow
Staring at the sea
But I'm still tryin' stop your shadow slipping down the hallway
Like a train that I can't catch
Left me sitting here the same as always
I always think too much
Waited to run 'till the rain comes down
Never get home if you don't strike out
I loved you like you'll never know
Where do all those futures go
As long as the snow keeps falling
I'm in no rush to get back
Try to find my own tempo
Said he never wakes up
Tryin' keep warm in this raincoat
Couple of books in my bag
Threw a coin in the fountain
Still listening out for the splash
I never saw you leaving
But I know you had some good years with your boy
Up on your own near morrow
Staring at the sea
But I'm still tryin' to stop your shadow slipping down the hallway
Like a train that I can't catch
Left me sitting here the same as always
I always think too much
Waited to run 'till the rain comes down
Never get home if you don't strike out
I loved you like you'll never know
Where do all those futures go
Waited to run 'till the rain comes down
Never get home if you don't strike out
I loved you like you'll never know
Where do all those futures go
