Cathy

I forget why I was driving on the west side
Sharon told me to pull over
I said I did, but I lied
The last time we had spoken, Cathy
You'd turned your heart around

It's for none of us to say
If it was your time
But I remember more than rocks
More than paper cups and med lines
You had a way of showing me, Cathy
The beauty on the ground

And I can't claim to know
How we should dispose of what you could not show
I hate to feel you linger
Cause you are free to go

Where do we go?
I thought you said
Rocks get smooth from water flow

It's so funny how the days will just pass by
How I can heal enough to love
And something gorgeous had to die
And I so want to call you, Cathy
To tell you all about it

But now I'm supposed to know
How to keep my heart wide open while I let you go
Keep stones between my fingers
That way you don't have to linger
Cause I can feel you linger
But you are free
