Phantom Limb

Wide Mouth Mason

Compositor: Wide Mouth Mason

Every bottle ever emptied by you
Every shoe that you walked holes into
All the bath water down your drain
Knows you like I do baby

The crumpled side of your crashed up car
Every soldier gone to Mars
The stranded light of a burned out
Star
Knows you like I do

You're my phantom limb
I know you're gone but I feel you
Good morning Gloria
Who knows you like I do?

Every word cut short by a cough
Every sentence trailing off
Every pistol pin untriggered
Knows you like I do, my lover
Knows you like I do

I thought I saw you out in the yard
The wind turned pages of your book
I swore you came to me as music from some window
Down for one more look
