Look out the window on the left, you said As we pulled in next to the riverbed You kicked off your shoes You pushed open the door And lifted your eyes up to the sycamores A vision of you on a summer night Adventurous and full of light Your poetry dances in my head like a lullaby You took off your jacket As you laughed and said Don't be afraid to take this change I looked up and saw just what you saw A comet trickling past the stars Three years since some divine poison Bled from the Moon And drenched your perfect form at the riverside Now here we sit In your room in Minnesota I could never fathom it then But the only reason I see the good in myself Is 'cause you see good in me I couldn't remember just what you told me In some ambiguous poem, you wrote me But your verses often make me cry I crave your touch, though I don't know why You hold my hand and count to three (One, two, three) You leapt into the river without looking at me I call out through the warm black night You said there's something living under this water Or maybe something in the sky I love my friends And I miss New York The tall gray buildings And the corner stores So if you see me Just know I love my friends And I miss New York
