The corridor is empty
And so’s the dining room
I sit here watching telly
And I contemplate the gloom
And ah, you’ve gone so long now
That the universe seems chilled
But if I’m holding perfectly still
I can see your shadow
Through the window, on the hill.
The children are well sleeping
Everything as planned
You had them on the phone, and
You hung up when I ran
And ah, you’ve gone so long now
Even my memories are dim
And if I could only be clever, or slim
I could still see your love glow
Through the curtains, in the snow.
The suitcase has returned and
You’re showering for too long
The supper is well burnt, and
Everything seems wrong
And ah, you’ve gone so long now
That your presence is a scare
And I am perfectly aware, blown
By the fact that Freedom
Is a suitcase,
I don’t own.
