She went over to his apartment
clutching her decision
and he said, did you come here to tell me goodbye?
so she built a skyscraper of procrastination
and then she leaned out the twenty-fifth floor window
of her reply
and she felt like an actress
just reading her lines
when she finally said
yes. itand's really goodbye this time
and far below was the blacktop
and the tiny toy cars
and it all fell so fast
and it all fell so far
And she said:
you are a miracle but that is not all
you are also a stiff drink and i am on call
you are a party and i am a school night
and iand'm lookinand' for my door key
but you are my porch light
And youand'll never know, dear
just how much i loved you
youand'll probably think this was
just my big excuse
but i stand committed
to a love that came before you
and the fact that i adore you
is but one of my truths
What of the mother
whose house is in flames
and both of her children
are in their beds crying
and she loves them both
with the whole of her heart
but she knows she can only
carry one at a time?
sheand's choking on the smoke
of unthinkable choices
she is haunted by the voices
of so many desires
sheand's bent over from the business
of begging forgiveness
while frantically running around
putting out fires
But then what kind of scale
compares the weight of two beauties
the gravity of duties
or the ground speed of joy?
tell me what kind of gauge
can quantify elation?
what kind of equation
could i possibly employ?
and youand'll never know, dear
just how much i loved you
you probably think this was
just my big excuse
but i stand committed
to a love that came before you
and the fact that i adore you
is just one of my truths
So i
iand'm goinand' home
to please the one i so love pleasing
and i donand't expect
heand'll have much sympathy for my grieving
but i guess that this is the price
that we pay for the privilege
of living for even a day
in a world with so many things
worth believing
in
Se acercó a su apartamento
agarrando su decisión
y él dijo, qué has venido aquí para decirme adiós?
así que ella construyó un rascacielos de la dilación
y luego se asomó por la vigésimo quinta planta ventana
de su respuesta
y ella se sentía como una actriz
sólo leer sus líneas
cuando por fin dijo
sí. itand es realmente adiós esta vez
y muy por debajo estaba el asfalto
y los coches de juguete diminuto
y todo se vino tan rápido
y todo se vino hasta ahora
Y ella dijo:
usted es un milagro, pero eso no es todo
usted también es una bebida fuerte y estoy de guardia
usted es una fiesta y yo soy una noche de escuela
y iand'm lookinand 'para mi llave de la puerta
pero tú eres mi luz del porche
Y nunca se youand'll saber, querido
lo mucho que te amaba
youand'll probablemente piensan que esto era
sólo mi gran excusa
pero yo estoy comprometida
a un amor que vino antes
y el hecho de que yo adoro
no es más que uno de mis verdades
Lo de la madre
cuya casa está en llamas
y sus dos hijos
están en sus camas de llanto
y ella ama a los dos
con la totalidad de su corazón
pero sabe que sólo puede
llevar a uno a la vez?
