ABOVE THE SPLINTERED FLOORS

So, I came home from working, you were balled up purring
And you sat there beautiful, your eyes are shining
And you sat there in silence, while I told my stories
And you laughed at the ending, of a simple day alive

And I swear I don’t know why
And I swear I don’t know why
That we never had to try
Above them splintered floors

So I came in the kitchen where you you were cooking
And I came up behind you and I kissed you without looking
And the steam it is rising and your hands are gentle
And the space in between us is strong and true

And I swear I don’t know why
And I swear I don’t know why
That we never had to try
Above them splintered floors

And I hold your picture like a weak man staring
At the face of a woman that he knows that he should be holding
And the time is turning and the earth is turning and wheels are turning
Oh but I am standing still

And I swear I don’t know why
And I swear I don’t know why
That we never had to try
Above them splintered floors
