I look through a
Stained glass window
From inside
A sinking cathedral

I could not
Distinguish sky
From sea

So I climbed a
Stony steeple
'Til the water
Climbed up to my leg

And I had to
Grab on to
A floating pew

And call out to You

I look through a
High-rise window
From inside
Your Brooklyn bedroom

We lay there
'Til we could not
Distinguish music of the crickets
From the birds

So I climbed
Your iron fire
Escape until the
Sunlight filled my eyes

And I jumped on
To the subway
Platform

To forget You
