she talks

and talks and talks

constantly she talks

yeah

uh huh

okay

words injected edge-wise

into her voice

she talks

and talks and talks

patiently I listen

yeah

uh huh

okay

my words are sparingly lost

inside her voice

she talks

and talks and talks

closely I listen

‘cause she talks with that voice

yeah

uh huh

okay

a bittersweet sound

inside her voice
