I am watching from a large cloud, and on it a large house, and in it I am sitting and sitting and waiting and waiting and waiting. And you are below me. And you are waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting.
For me to say
For you to say
For you to say
For me to say
For you to say
For you to say

*“Oh had we some bright little isle of our own in a blue summer ocean far off and alone.”
We will part.
*Excerpt from Thomas Moore's "Oh had we some bright little isle of our own", found in a book of Irish Melodies that belonged to my great great uncle, Thomas Barlow.

You are warm but you are dry.
I am stuck to my own dress.
It’s so warm.
I am stuck to my dress.
My own hair to my own neck.
It’s so warm.
I am stuck to my own skin.
My own skin to my own sweat.
It’s so warm.
I will stay here for a while.
You will pass me many times.
It’s so warm.
We will meet. We will meet.
We’ll be warm. We’ll be warm.

I am watching from a large cloud, and on it a large house, and in it I am waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting.
And you are below me.
And you are waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for me to say “help”. “Help me”. To say, “help me help me help me help me help me help me help me help me help all of me”.
And then we’ll meet.
And then we’ll part.
We will part.
