Spring Cleaning

from Cardea by Bitter Whiskers

/

lyrics

I was a coward, and I crumbled
I was lazy, clumsy, so I stumbled
I hollered help me, save me, as I tumbled
Into your bed

You have no answers, no persuasion
You fed me bedtime stories as distraction
Your truth is fairy tales in abstraction
That book is closed

What is it about dust in the corners
that tells me you won't be here anymore?
What is it about dust, what is it about dust
in the corners?

Are we ready for spring cleaning?
I empty closets and dressers,
find that nothing is worth keeping.
Hundreds of bags, the litter of a life
That's no longer ours.

What is it about dust in the corners
that tells me you won't be here anymore?
What is it about dust, what is it about dust
in the corners?

Sweaters, socks and mugs
Books and tapes and rugs
And all the spells they cast
Telling stories of our past
More refuse than refuge,
More refuse than refuge.

What is it about dust in the corners
that tells me you won't be here anymore?
What is it about dust, what is it about dust
in the corners?
What is it about dust, what is it about dust
in the corners?
