Norma

Norma of the Ear sheared off
she keeps herself a heart so soft
too open, vulnerable to protect
a love too distant to connect
So I said goodbye, goodbye
to my only ever blues
I'm too far away, too far
to feel what she goes through
the television on my wall
a blow by blow of her downfall
what one could cut clean and give away
what one could cut clean and give away
And if I didn't know Norma's
heart for this as now- I would take
I'd take all the liberty she'd allow
Texas only kept me awake
another interest I won't fake
In a pond and sifting down
Norma is breathing in to drown
