Five are few
My skies are blue
The days I spent with you
Five are few
The streets are new
The places I walked through
Home at night to where you are
Suddenly, I see
That perfect, sunny, rosy skies
Are always cloudy in your eyes
There's always a change
From what you say
To what your fingers do
And touch me in a simple way
That sends your words askew
If I could arrange
For you to say
The words that are your truth
And come to light
And carry through
We'd finally make this right
Five are few
Your words renew
The troubles we talked through
Five are few
And I re-captured you
Your scabs torn up anew
Home at night, alone with you
Suddenly, I see
That fear, in all its mystery
Has stolen you from me
There's always a change
From what you say
To what your fingers do
And touch me in a simple way
That sends your words askew
If I could arrange
For you to say
The words that are your truth
And come to light
And carry through
We'd finally make this right
I know there's a change
When you're holding me
And when your bed is empty
The droplets we cried in pure tragedy
Show us what is missing
And you're so alone
You know when I'm gone
You're back to misery
Stop your burning mind
The answer you're to find
Only lies in me
