Maria Daines ~ The Words We Can’t Find

A song for our good friend Bill Pearson. We hope you’ll read his book one day, it’s time he put his beautiful words out into the world. ’The Words We Can’t Find’ Second hand books in empty rooms I should come and sit with you I blur the lines on wasted rhymes Run out of time, run out of time On the words I can’t find I think of you, new life, new state Overthink and lose the date Remember how I’m always late I’ll see you soon, I’m so behind But it’s the words I can’t find Consumed in the hidden life of stars Out of reach, the distance in our paths At odds and there’s nothing left but what we are The way we lose ourselves in moments, unaware How it goes, this life it flies On and on, more lows than highs Ten years on and you survived Don’t wait and leave your hope behind In the words you can’t find Packing up and making space Things you needed, just in case Har
