Chequered Light Buildings Testo

Testo Chequered Light Buildings

Chequered light buildings
Fallen from the sky
Sway as they climb into your eye
They’re taller now
Everything has changed
From an empty frame
Stares a distant face

Can he see me?
At night and all alone
When I raise my hand to wave
The face is gone

In a flash I see the face is mine
And swinging from the mantelpiece is why
I said I could go back to the house where all we keep is keeping on
Where everyone pretends that they belong and long and long

If I tell you what I’m seeing
Can you tell me what is true?
In the space between our feelings
There’s a place for me and you
