Rafters Songtext
von Richard Buckner

Now that i know what i′d hoped had to
Be in mind was true and refused (and just
In time), do you wonder why? it seems
I let up with the dents of a near-collision.
I couldn't call, and wrecked and turned
Up missing.

But, until then, i′m cutting to
The end:

It's cold in the light
(The one we never seemed
To find).


I opened the door instead, but, you knew
The lock (and the way i was looking)
And still not a thing was said. i guess
I can show that i thought i'd never
Have you long. it′s a wall that you feel,
But you′re already slipping and away you
Slide. can you take the ride? what
Did it mean when we stood with our building,
Slanted: high, and we spoke of harder
Times?

I pulled the rafters down, but the ghosts
Were only dropping

And since that night...
