i heard her breathing - charles curtis trio lyrics

the bed was too soft for her
so she had rigged a few blankets on the floor
it was a cruddy carpet, dark blue and dirty
but who cared?

the drive had been pretty long
i had two beers left, a full pack of cigarettes, and a fifty dollar bill hidden in my belt
that was fine

the lady at the front desk had refused my check
made a big to*do about it
i’d taken it

she was saying she didn’t wanna talk about anything
she just wanted to get some sleep, get up early, and get home
she just wanted me to get hеr home to california
that’s all she wanted from mе
for example, she didn’t want me to touch her
that was okay, i didn’t care
i had very little to say
i said, “that’s okay, i don’t care”
i didn’t care, and it was okay
i said, “that’s okay, i don’t care”
i said this a few times, not loudly

by the time i finished my beer, she was sleeping
i watched her
she seemed calm
she was curled on her side, knees drawn up
i heard her breathing
the smoke from the last cigarette just sat there
sat like a white shape over the white lampshade
the light put out
grew from pitch black to dim
when i woke up, [?]
she was still sleeping
she hadn’t moved
i pulled myself out from the blankets and off the floor, lit a cigarette
the room was hot but outside, the wind had looked cold
i wondered if we would make california tonight
it would be a long drive
i wondered what today would be like
probably no better than yesterday
maybe even worse
i wondered how often i had said it
“i don’t care”
i didn’t care
i kept hearing her exhale
funny, it seemed like she never inhaled
it was pulling on my cigarette with all my might
double clutch, triple clutch
in my mind i kept saying to her, “keep sleeping”
i watched her
her face was [?], her mouth opened, fingers clutching the edge of wrinkled sheets
i said it out loud now but softly, “keep sleeping”
