Not Coming Home

The fortnight came and then the fortnight left
He didn't get the money that they said

You got the same look as your dad
You got the same eyes that your mother had

You say
You know I'm on my way but
I'm not coming home

Edges, corners, all that I recall
Don't remember rooms
Remember walls

You got the same look as your dad
You got the same eyes that your mother had

You say
You know I'm on my way but
I'm not coming home
