Little Ghost

Snuck out one summer night
in a shirt large and bright
You looked like an escaped patient
or a little ghost

So I put on my jeans
and followed you through the green
It's just something I recall
me, you, all

From a starry night's heaving lung
out we will run
into a day no one cares about
begin, begun

Back to sleep, heart and love
I promise to wake you up
as soon as the credits roll
the lights come home

I'll never edit out
how you bumblebeed in me
and there in your cupped hand
a family

From a starry night's heaving lung
out we will run
into a day no one cares about
not old, not young
