lyrics

For you
I'm saving my disappointments for you.

Counting and numbering them
with an archivist's fervor
With a jeweler's precision
I'm shaping them into charms.
That I'll hang around my neck.
Like some kind of life preserver.
A life I'm saving.
of pitiful craving.

For you
I'm saving my disappointments for you.

With a deathbed doctor's dispassion
I'm saving my disappointments to fashion
some kind of fisherman's net.
Look long enough and you'll get
what you're looking for.
And not even a tiny bit more,
like a widow who survived the war
on scraps that she can't stop saving
even now that the peace is raging

I'm saving them for you.
I'm saving them for you.

And with a midwife's gentle strength
I'm holding my disappointments close.
Sometimes taking them out
for a walk in the sun
I want you to see.
I want everyone
to know what I'm saving.
For you.
