Original lyric sketch · Fictional voice · Lyrics only · A kinder measure of progress
Verse
A page can hold a question
without closing up the sky.
I turn to the quiet correction
and let the quick reply pass by.
Refrain
The second line need not erase the first.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.
