roaming
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 12.12.99
hot. steaming. rolling. dreaming. feeling something that is not there/
tender. gleaming. my eyes. beaming. i can't go anywhere//
drag me into the quiet again/
pulling down my holidays/
shutting out this reason/
please i'm leaving soon/ // /
tired. crawling. weary. dawning. believing i can be whole again/
hopeless. twisting. drying. wishing. bearing this weight alone//
drag me into the quiet again/
pulling down my holidays/
shutting out this reason/
please i'm leaving soon/
i can't go again another way/
i can't stay here/
i want to, need to, get away/
but i'm only lonely, holding,/
when i'm roaming/ // /
pull me. under. torn, asunder. looking away from up into/
tiny. feeling. real and. steely. existing where i've not been for months//
drag me into the quiet again/
pulling down my holidays/
shutting out this reason/
please i'm leaving soon/
i can't go again another way/
i can't stay here/
i want to, need to, get away/
but i'm only lonely, holding,/
when i'm roaming/ // //
a wish on every corner, is a penny in the bank/
losing sense of order, only me to thank/
a wish on every corner, another step away/
i just need to practice, moving around you.
