leave the front light on i’ll be home late or not at all
i plead the night to let me sleep at least til dawn
wake up search flights but decide wait til next fall
nurse coffee despite the never ending need to yawn
settle settle settle settle
close my window tight i heard it might rain while i’m gone
promise i’ll bring back something for you when i return
smell the leaves burn in the yard signaling fall
in this beach town i never found how people stay anyway
settle settle settle settle
mom called again but i just let it ring
guess i’ll have to leave her wondering
how i’ll find a way to waste the day
lost track of how long i’ve been on 6a
with the windows down
i’ll get coffee then turn around
there it goes another one
wandering til the sun drops down
