lyrics

You taught me to tie you off (and bear my claws when I needed claws) the night your lung collapsed in the back of that mini-cab a week into summer.

I cut my hand on the banister outside the shop where your sister worked, and in a moment of reverie I asked if you'd marry me if I could outrun you.

On our sad days you were all grace (in the back of a cab with your head in my lap).
