A Love of Some Kind

(Adrianne Lenker)

And now we're strangers

Hello, look, I can't be sure
So it's okay
But I think I've seen you.
You don't have to say it.
Maybe once or twice before
Stranger's better anyway
Either way I need you.
And I think that we can make it.
Will you stay?
I don't have much but what I've got
Nothing much in our way
Is something I can give.
And the sky is always bending.
And I've found that on your own is no is
And I hate pretending like I'm doing fine
no good way to live.
Would you mind?
I could use a love of some kind.
So what d'you say?
Nothing much in our way
I've read the books
And the world is always turning
I've tried it all
And the light is yearning
I've lived behind a curtain
It'll be just fine
And maybe life is protocol
Would you mind?
But I still feel uncertain
I could use a heart
Every day I get lost in the gray where the
I could use a home
light is ever white
I could use a love of some kind
And it finds me trying to find my will
And be still
And let go of my heart to fill.
