Turquoise Walls

(album: My Echo - 2020)

When I thought that I might lose you
Oh I trembled like a leaf
Tattered by the wind
And torn by the September storm
I tossed and turned and threw
The blankets off, oh I could not sleep
Thinking you were keeping
Someone else's pillow warm

Oh and the hours dragged by
And I heard that whistle call
I didn't know what to do
I just stared at the turquoise walls

The warmth the beauty of your eyes
It crushes me to think
That you could give that love
To someone else
Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde
Oh I felt so crazy inside
Brewing on the bed
The worst version of myself

Oh and the hours dragged by
And I heard that whistle call
I didn't know what to do
I just stared at the turquoise walls

I texted you some cryptic shit
And was soon consumed with regret
The horse on the Lurie
Painting came alive
And it told me to stop worrying:
"Girl, girl don't lose your head
Have you considered that
Maybe his phone just died?"

Oh and the hours dragged by
And I heard that distant call
I didn't know what to do
I just stared at the turquoise walls
