Steadier Footing
It's gotten late and now
I want to be alone
All of our friends were here,
They all have gone home
And here I sit on the front porch
Watching the drunks stumble forth into the night
"You gave me a heart attack;
I did not see you there.
I thought you had disappeared
so early away from here."
And this is the chance I never got to make a move.
But we just talk about
The people we've met in the last 5 years.
And will remember them in ten more?
I let you bum a smoke,
You quit this winter past.
I've tried twice before but like this,
It just will not last...
