Sidewalks
© 2005 Kiya Heartwood
Slip on the sidewalk
these cracks in time
all the wishes we left behind
what can we hope for
will we find our way
I'm not saving any souls today
Flesh and blood, mud and bone
I just want to walk you home
First ones up and the last ones in
we fall down and get up again
like a holy fool
or some crazy saint
I'm drowning in visions
and mistakes
Flesh and blood, mud and bone
I just want to walk you home
Betrayals
moments left on file
boxed in hours
unspoken trials
concrete faces
the forgotten touch
how can we hurt
the ones we love so much
If they see I love you
let them walk on by
we'll leave our laundry
on the line
forgive my resistance
my fear of you
God bless the child who loves this true
Flesh and blood, mud and bone
I just want to walk you home
