Laufin falla
eða: Five Leaves Left
ég sit hérna í vinnunni, hálflasinn, of stoltur til þess að játa að það ami eitthvað að mér og mér leiðist.
mér líður betur en í upphafi vikunar.
kannski vegna þess að ég ætla ekki að láta utanaðkomandi aðstæður trufla huga minn og sál. kannski vegna þess að ég er örlítið hvíldari, eftir að ég tók miðvikudagskvöldið snemma og hoppaði snemma i bólið.
Laufin falla stanslaust fyrir utan gluggann. Hálfnaktir stofnarnir standa sem minnisvarðar sumars, sumars sem aldrei kom.
það er að mörgu að hyggja þegar vetur nálgast, einhvernvegin finn ég mig ekki knúinn til þess að gera neitt.
Ég held ég hreinlega bara nenni því ekki.
River Man
Drake
Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And fallen leaves.
Said she hadn't heard the news
Hadn't had the time to choose
A way to lose
But she believes.
Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all i can
About the plan
For lilac time.
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
And all night shows
In summertime.
Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay
She wasn't sure.
For when she thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain
And stayed for more.
Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all i can
About the ban
On feeling free.
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
I don't suppose
It's meant for me.
Oh, how they come and go
Oh, how they come and go
