Broken Bones

So much for unexpected weather

It's been overcast forever

Since I fell from my sweetheart's clutches

To a springtime spent on crutches



Coffee cups, promises, sure

But I've never broken bones before



So many staring at the wall days

I've been housebound ever and always

I can't believe the time it's taking

This evening I'm escaping



When the streetlights shine

And the footpath glistens

There are friends of mine

Within walking distance

When the streetlights shine

And it looks like Christmas

There are friends of mine

Within walking distance



Coffee cups, promises, sure

But I've never broken bones before
