Cosima To Build A HouseWatch at the source

While you were gone I washed all the windows So I could get a better view of your return While you were gone I changed all the bed sheets So I could lie without the anger as I turned

I reset the clocks so I could forgive you for being late But the moment I stop is the moment you tell me to have some faith

In the end I let the windows get dirty I couldn’t stand to see your absence through the glass And in the end I learnt to sleep with the light off So tired from giving space to shadows of the past

I reset the clocks so I could forgive you for being late But the moment I stop is the moment you tell me to have some faith

Do I wait for you? (How can that feel alright?) Does that comfort you? (How can that feel alright?) Do I see it through? (How can that feel alright?) Or do I walk on by? (How can that feel alright?) Can I flick a switch? (How can that feel alright?) And forget your name? (How can that feel alright) Do I crawl right back? (How can that feel alright?) When I know that there’s no safety in your home
