On The Lake Outside - Loraine James, Baths

On the lake outside

You row and I’m quiet

Try not to bother

Watch the sky in the water

Think the dust will have its way with me

Come in the windows and get in the sheets

Think about what I want for a little too long

Dust settles on my open palms

I always was a little off

But I get up and get on

But I get up and get on

I always was a little off

But I get up and get on

On the lake outside

You row and I’m quiet

Until I’m not

I tell you what I want

On the lake outside

You row and I’m quiet

Until I’m not

I tell you what I want

I tell you what I want
