Lyrics
LITTLE GLIMPSES
(Timothy Brickley and David Rheins)
Little glimpses,
pictures posted on windows and subways.
Minutes alone,
seconds knowing you’re out there apart.
Just a pause,
one less beat of my heart.
Little glimpses.
She gave me little glimpses.
Touches when I was half-asleep.
Little glimpses.
Notions I never thought I would keep.
She gave me little glimpses.
Little glimpses.
A vision of you,
under streetlight,
driving death-like in the rain.
One more mile,
one more speeding sign refracting by.
One more evening into night.
Nothing left of the world
she gave me.
Touches when I was half-asleep.
Little glimpses.
Notions I never thought I would keep.
She gave me little glimpses.
Little glimpses.
