Dark Side of the Moon - Kathleen

I had to leave home for home

Packed my car up gave my key to neighbors

Hope they keep my plants alive

Then I drove four states East

And every car along the ride was also on their own odyssey

Florida to Tampa

Oregon to bend

These license plates like name tags in reverse migration

Every mile closer to the dark side of the moon

I dunno what’s comin', do you any of you?

But last night I think I met my mom

And this afternoon I met my sister

And this morning, I finally met my dad

While he was outside just picking up dogshit

Oh, despite everything else I think I met myself

La, la, la

La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la

La, la, la, la

I’m having to reinvent

The way I measure time now

'Cause «days and hours» feel like a past life

Tryna learn new manners

Like how to greet a stranger on the street

With nothing but your eyes, oh

Texas to Houston

New York to The City

I know you’re getting slammed but you’ll walk again

Every mile closer to the dark side of the moon

I dunno what’s coming I just wanna hold you soon

But last night I met the Milky Way

As it was shivering outside of my window

And this morning I finally met the birds

'Cause there’s nothing else to do but watch them

Oh, despite everything else I think I met myself

La, la, la

La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la

La, la, la, la

La, la, la

La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la

La, la, la, la

A few months ago

I thought the world was ending it was

Burning all the work we’d just begun

But then through mornings without traffic

Through horizons without smog

I could see that wasn’t fire, no

That was just the dawn
