Time for nothing.
Tell me something.
What's the news today?

Shoot the breeze,
whether the weather.
Maybe again tomorrow?

Joni Mitchell

He comes for conversation
I comfort him sometimes
Comfort and consultation
He knows that's what he'll find
I bring him apples and cheeses
He brings me songs to play
He sees me when he pleases
I see him in cafes
And I only say, hello
And turn away before his lady knows
How much I want to see him
She removes him, like a ring
To wash her hands
She only brings him out to show her friends
I want to free him
Secrets and sharing soda
That's how our time began
Love is a story told to a friend
It's second hand
But I'll listen to his questions
I'll give my answers when they're found
He says she keeps him guessing
I know she keeps him down
She speaks in sorry sentences
Miraculous repentance's
I don't believe her
Tomorrow he will come to me
And he'll speak his sorrow's endlessly and he'll ask me why
Why can't I leave her
He comes for conversation
I comfort him sometimes
Comfort and consultation
He knows that's what he'll find
He knows that's what, he'll find

i wish he wouldn't
tell those stories
across me

he thinks the driver is laughing
he thinks that I do not matter
but I am the one who is driven
seated on high

It was the weirdest thing
He stopped us at the red light
Told us his life story
Literally, from when he was a babe
Until he was stood right here
In the street
It was colourful I tell you
And then
He just walked off
Honestly,
The cars behind were just
Banging and banging
On their Horns.

Words at the curb
a monochrome car
we can't see the colour
of this conversation
It might be blue and green
What do you think?

We talked and talked
and nothing came of it
a change of money
a changing hand of pills
the deal went down,
right outside a Duane Read,
and we laughed at the honesty.

A jester's wit,
a soul coffin,
a fat passenger in a dirty van,
stares the face of
America in the eye,
and sticks a needle in
deeper and deeper.
