Steadier Footing

It's gotten late and now I want to be alone.

All of our friends were here, they all have gone home.

And here I sit on the front porch watching,

The drunks stumble forth into the night.



You gave me a heart attack, I did not see you there.

I thought you had disappeared so early away from here.



This is the chance I never got to make a move,

But we just talk about the people we've met in the last five years,

And will we remember them in ten more?



I let you bum a smoke, you quit this winter past.

I've tried twice before, but like this, it just will not last.
