Chicory

from Two Birds by Kirsty McGee

lyrics

chicory, we both know the score
to use and to abuse - that's what a friend is for
knowing you like i know you there's nothing out of line
a bed on the floor...

i never worry when you're home late
you sneak in like a cat and you're asleep before i wake up
to your eggs in the morning and your stale cigarettes
there's never any money, oh but how could i forget
all the names i scanned for friends i scammed
for dinner and a bed
for a key behind the slate

there's no romance in staying still but jesus, how it hurts
to wake alone and watch the clouds fly by
when you're done with one place
then there's always someplace new
(till all the faces look familiar in every place you go)

chicory, i love you just the same
i recall the the gutted buildings and the friends who let me stay
with gratitude although these days i'm never out of line
i'll never ask you where you've been
there'll always be a floor for you...

after closing time
