lyrics

And when you go, you go
With the snow in your eyes
You wipe your nose on your sleeve
You realize
All of your clothes smell like me and the children
All of your clothes smell like me and, me and

I’m adding coal to the stove
I’m wiping my hands
Braiding our daughters’ hair
Carefully as
You’re heading west to the state of Ohio
You’re headed west and I don’t know, don’t know

That first night I will lie on my side of the bed
The dark as heavy as a blanket
Upstairs, our neighbors are fucking
Through the walls, I think I hear my name
I hide behind my own teeth
I hide below my own brain
Where I am struck by the thought that I never knew you
And I am struck by thought that I do not know myself yet

And when I go, I go
Like a tangle of thread
Coming loose in my chest
Blue from the red
I make a dress for the woman downstairs and
I make a dress for the women

I add lace to all our sleeves
I find lace is such a beautiful way to hide a stain
Embroider over the moth holes
Slash the seams of a thing outgrown
I teach my daughters to sew
Shining buttons in tiny rows
And I am struck by the thought that you wouldn’t know us
And I am struck by the thought that you wouldn’t know yourself

And when you go, you go
And when I go, I go
