The House is Yours
I do not lack chair
I do not lack couch
The only thing missing is you sitting in the room
The only thing missing is for you to be
I do not lack wall and on it a door for you to enter
I do not lack carpet
It’s just missing your bare foot to step on it
I do not lack bed
The only thing missing is for you to lie down
I do not lack the morning sun
The only thing missing is for you to wake up
For the windows to open up to me
And for the wind to play in the backyard
Swinging the garden flowers
Shaking the colors on the clothesline
The house is yours Why don’t you come now?
Even the ceiling is upside down
Because you take too long
The house is yours
Why don’t you arrive soon?
Neither the nail takes it anymore The weight of this watch
I do not lack bathroom, bedroom, lamp, dining room
I do not lack kitchen
The only thing missing is the doorbell to ring
I do not lack dog howling just because you are not here
It seems like it’s asking for help
Like everything here in this place
I do not lack house
The only thing missing is it to be a home
I do not lack the time that passes
I just can’t wait any longer
For the birds to return to sing
And for the cloud to draw an arrowed heart
For the ground to lie down again
And for the rain to drum on the roof
The house is yours Why don’t you come now?
Even the ceiling is upside down Because you take too long
The house is yours Why don’t you come now?
Neither the nail takes it anymore The weight of this watch
The house is yours Why don’t you come now?
Even the ceiling is upside down Because you take too long
The house is yours Why don’t you come now?
Neither the nail takes it anymore The weight of this watch
