these 23 days in september - david blue lyrics

[verse 1]
lately baby’s had a look of discontent
early in the morning, late at night her humor’s spent
i’ve tried but cannot trace
the reasons for her new face
she keeps it on for everyone
not just me

[chorus]
so politely it hurts when she speaks
with a surface tension swift and cynically
using only the sharpest words
not at all like her
not at all like the happy girl she used to be
“when i’m gone,” she says
“when i’m gone”

[verse 2]
if i ask what it is she turns away
silence is hеr only answer these days
deep insidе something is wrong
it has possessed her now
for some weeks

[chorus]
now she spends her time sitting wistfully
behind a steamy window in retreat
watching with half*closed eyes
her reflection, she tries
for an image of herself that would be complete
“when i’m gone,” she says
“when i’m gone”
[verse 3]
there are times when she seems to be herself
laughing, a delighted child from all else
this lasts for a while
and then her precious smile
disappears into a world
where she’s not free

[chorus]
on the floor, pages torn from books she reads
ancient ones, new magic and philosophy
hopeful she tries every one
soon leaving them undone
they seem to hold nothing at all she can believe
“when i’m gone,” she says
“when i’m gone”
