sittin in the basement

sittin in the basement
got the music on
places empty
and the curtains half drawn
floors clean
and girls gone
im sittin here
the only one
cups around
and keyboard leaning
chair stacked full
and fridge not running
carpet strange
and mic cocked
laptop on
the studio rocked
plates on the floor
pictures on the wall
tv to the side
light shining on it all
fan far away
the air rather cool
bed with blanket
me far like a fool
tree fallen down
and sky cloudy grey
a bit of snow
cold wintry day
christmas tomorrow
not really my thing
girlfriends out
we'll see what she'll bring
feet cold
and socks hidden
plates stacked
i got her a green mitten
san francisco soon
might be moving
get a new place
that's where we'll be schooling
and when we're there
we'll enjoy the sea
hot weather
and calm we'll be
