Calendar

I went to the store today

And picked out a calendar 

So I could cross out the days

Until I see you again 

I painted my walls anew

A subtle shade of blue

So I could write your name and draw

Dashes that count down to you

One, two, three, four, cross them all out, five

Six, seven, eight, nine

Ten strikes closer to you

Oh you, oh Love, oh Love of Mine

I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait

Each day is made to sit and wait

Every engine, every bell

Every figure on the hill

Could be you if you’re well and still in love with me

Oh, please be well and love me still

I’m waiting for you to come and tell

My calendar hangs for you

My walls are marked with you

My room says I love you
