Power Lines
At some point, I'll decide to throw my gypsy dresses
In the depths of my wardrobe
From my old suitcases, I'll take what I've lived through
To expose it on walls I will then call mine
At some point, I'll be able to stop worrying,
Wondering if it's me or the car that'll give up first
At some point, I'll boycott the corner store's old coffee and
Will start judging those buying cheap supermarket wine, too
I won't notice the phone booths along the road anymore
When I'll have more threads holding me to the real world
Than just those long power lines following me everywhere
At some point, I'll be able to walk on those paths I've beaten
And I'll finally take some time to admire them
But then I can tell myself that I'm lucky that my wrinkles have so many stories to tell
When I lie down in sheets I will then call mine
But in the meantime the radio screeches, screeches, screeches
When I'm like a madwoman looking for a song that would remind me of home
I won't notice the phone booths along the road anymore
When I'll have more threads holding me to the real world
Than just those long power lines following me everywhere
At some point, I'll decide to throw my gypsy dresses
In the depths of my wardrobe
