Set Me Near The New Front Door
Where Pictures Are Waiting To Hang
The Hallway Stands Open And Wide
With Morning Just Inside
I Kept Watch By The Window
The Regulars Passed Me A Smile
A Fork Landed Soft On The Tile
And Giggled, "You're Warm For A While"
I Carried The Rooms Away
And Slept In A Box All Day
We Found A New Doorway
And I Am Learning To Stay
I Rode Through A Rainfall
While Morning Was Cold On The Tile
Brown Bags Bounced Beside Me
While Umbrellas Went Racing By
I Carried The Rooms Away
And Slept In A Box All Day
We Found A New Doorway
And I Am Learning To Stay
I Opened My Top Flaps
And Hallway Light Slipped Through The Gap
The Landlord Stayed Quiet For Half
Then Laughed At My Loud Little Clap
No Label Can Tell Me The Plan
But Your Fingers Know Mine By Hand
Empty Rooms Will Learn All Our Names
While Morning Becomes Candleflame
I Carried A Bed Frame
A Tattered Shade Swayed Down
A Book Of Old Punch Cards
That Someone Had Thrown To The Ground
I Carried The Rooms Away
And Slept In A Box All Day
We Found A New Doorway
And I Am Learning To Stay
I Held Up The Walls Today
While Neighbors Brought Lemonade
A Child Knelt And Whispered
And Traced Little Stars In The Shade
I Carried The Rooms Away
And Slept In A Box All Day
We Found A New Doorway
And I Am Learning To Stay
Fold Me Gently, Label Me Home
And Set Me Beside The Gray Pan
Tomorrow Will Open The Door
As Echoes Roll Over The Floor
