One note rings out crystal and clear
Whole histories and promises in it
Tumult and peace
Beauty and destructive renewal
All shattered by a rush to explain
What was said and what was meant
Attempts to see clear
Self deprecations
Attempting to make light of heavy feelings
Saying like when love is meant
But people don’t know what love is but they know they like the taste
Easier to compare to like and hold out heart for love
And this rush of explanations and words, words, words
Crash
avalanche
Stop
And the note
Fading in the still dawn air
Sings it’s melancholy
