Tether
Unveiling Vulnerability: Sarah Harmer's Tethered Reflections
Lyrics
Living this close to the road
Living in close proximity to the road
You'll question your vulnerability
You'll doubt your safety
Got the curtains closed and there's nothing
The curtains are shut, nothing visible to outsiders
For those bold coyotes to see
To prevent bold coyotes from seeing inside
Just an airplane in the sky
An airplane in the sky catches attention
That I hear high up the chimney
The sound of an airplane near the chimney
And the lonely cold coming up
Feeling of loneliness and coldness
To find a warmer place to be
Seeking a warmer place emotionally
After that Christmas I think that I might sleep
Considering sleeping through the New Year after Christmas
The whole new year
Contemplating a long rest
Maybe see if in the spring
Possibly returning in the spring for a drink
I come in for an afternoon glass of beer
Anticipating having a casual afternoon drink
You know I always thought
A belief that there would be much to discuss
That there'd be lots to talk about
Expecting frequent encounters, but they haven't happened
But I never see you and I still look when I go out
Continuously searching for someone but not finding them
Alays so much that feels undone and waiting
Many unresolved and pending things
A pocket that's gaping threads to weave
An emptiness or gap waiting to be filled
On the top of a pile another melody is aching
Another unfinished song longing for completion
For a few pretty words to let it be
Desire for the right words to finish the melody
Simple tether hold this together
A simple connection keeping things intact
At least to one place
Ensuring stability, at least in one aspect
So the feelings can't escape into the air
Preventing emotions from escaping
'Cause if they do we won't remember that they were even there
Fear of forgetting these fleeting emotions
And filled a moment that we had to spare
Filling a moment that's available
