Exile

Uninvited Guest

I saw you on the TV one day
Called you on the phone right away
For a talk that was long overdue
Everything reminded me of you

I'm plagued with a sickness called the past
Cars driving over on the overpass
In Toronto with the lights of the tubes
Shining darkness on the blue notes that make up the blues

I watched through a window and felt so blessed
To be watching my Loretta unabashed and undressed
I came every time the same way that I went
But I left feeling more like an uninvited guest

It was around this time last year
When we went our separate ways
It's so hard when the snow's really falling
To really separate

I watched through a window and felt so alive
Indentations in your bed made canyons in my mind
I can't tell if my heart's under attack or arrest
Sitting in my own room an uninvited guest

My apartment is so cold, what's broken needing fixed?
I still have the taste of summer on my lips
My body pressed against you, my hands on your hips
The water dripping from the taps of an uninvited guest
