I thought it was cold
I thought it was snowing
but it was neither one of those
when the legs turned out to be just bedposts
and the window, a face a minute before
when I called your name down the hall you came
but the room still glowed that you left
I thought all my bones
had hollowed and grown feathers to cover my skin
you whispered that dreams were just dreams
and to take stock in all you can see
now you've let me down for the last time, mister
I don't think I'll be waking up soon
til the moon gets so round that her clothes don't fit her
and the snow fills the view from my room
