I looked through a stained glass window
From inside a sinking cathedral
And I could not distinguish sky from sea
So I climbed the stony steeple
‘Till the water climbed up to my neck
And I had to grab onto a floating pew
And called out to you
I looked through a high-rise window
From inside your Brooklyn bedroom
We laid there ‘till we could not
Distinguish music
Of the crickets from the birds
So I climbed your iron fire escape
Until the sunlight filled my eyes
And I jumped onto the subway platform
To forget you
