lyrics

Boxes

snow fell soft like feathers
the forecast threatened more
i was craving eggs and toast
when i pushed through the door

he sat in a corner
hair matted and torn clothes
no one would sit next to him
his eyes looked like they’d froze

all the others seemed like me
with roofs and their own cars
none lay out in boxes
beneath the frigid stars

it seemed good they served him
all kindness a surprise
every gaze averted
the whole room in disguise

his waitress brought more coffee
and let him bide his time
he looked fixed and broken
beneath the rags and grime

chorus

who knew where he’d go next
what shelter might be found
i peered at my emails
the snow kept drifting down

all the others seemed like me
with roofs and their own cars
none lay out in boxes
beneath the frigid stars
