Sidewalk Stars

You looked at me through old windows
And said, «Dust is all I know»
And you’re so clean and I’m so tired
Like lovers’smiles and green marker miles
Can’t go back that’s much too far
I’m asking you to laugh
But after all
You love a tragedy
Hope remains a sidewalk star
Could you stay right where you are
You’re so smooth, and I’m on fire
Holding on, just watching it unwind
