When

(Anastasio/Marshall)

When I ask your name
you say I already know
When I ask you for the time
you say your watch is too slow

When I invite you to lunch
you say you don’t like to eat
When I say to sit down
you ask me which is your seat

When you ask me for time
you say that’s all that I have left
When you ask me for help
I feel a pain in my chest

When you finally smile
I see clouds disappear
But after a while
there’s a storm drawing near
