Clay birds on a string
Steel chimes on a ring
For the wind, the wind

Pale patio light
Chairs left overnight
In the rain, in the rain

And he's scared of what's in store
Cuz they keep having less and needing more

Cooking and laundry
Groceries and rent
Driving the kids to school
Staring in silence
Everything's spent
And all of his loans are due

He sees the strain
In her eyes again
In the moon

Stale breath on his tongue
Tightness in his lungs
In the van, in the van

He's scared of what's in store
Cuz they keep having less and needing more

Cooking and laundry
Groceries and rent
Driving the van to school
Staring in silence
Everything's spent
And all of his loans are due

And he sees the strain
In her eyes again
In the moon
