New Couch Songtext
von Mark Lint

The new couch that you′ve pictured
The new couch in your mind
Will some day fill the living room
Though not as much, I think you'll find.
A few more years, a little bit off
The furniture will roll

The plans that were uncertain
The feats we aimed to do
The pictures taken forward of
The routine into which we grew
A few more years will pull us along
The future will arrive

We hold our possibility
We lean with grave necessity
We′ve come this far to witness
With ourselves the only judge too


The new job that you've pictured
And those that've come and gone
The needling sense it′s not enough
The need for maybe moving on
A few more years, a little bit off
It works itself along

We hold our possibility
We lead with grave necessity
We′ve come this far to witness
But I'm not sure I can judge
Our hope and possibility
I hope you still share that with me
I want so much to come to you
Each goal that may remain this true

The new couch won′t resent you
For having to wait so long
With two new chairs fit for company
Who've got the color to belong
The new life that will find us
Our plans all fleshed and new
The new couch and the armchairs
Will find some stuff to do


As long as we just wait here
Our new couch will abide
I think sometimes I know your mind
But only from one side
