Fractured Bones

Relentlessly red lips parting to whisper secrets
But I guess it's the way her hair reveals the neck he never forgets
Did you ever notice how the tough choices
Seem to leave inevitable trails of uncertainty in our voices?

My thoughts are disappearing in the time between the seconds
Is that thunder in the distance?
There is always a story hidden
Underneath it all
In less than a second the first raindrops will start to fall

Bones always try to bend under strain
But exposed to more than they can take
They cease resistance and break
Maybe it's too late
But I'll be waiting for you under
that old copper beech, I once told you
About, by the lake

My thoughts are disappearing in the time between the seconds
Is that thunder in the distance?
There is always a story hidden
Underneath it all
In less than a second the first raindrops will start to fall
