Two of us Torn by the Glass on the Window

Me and my face in the window of the bus
Are talking to each other, putting our head on the other’s shoulder
He says by what mistake is your cheek so warm?

I say hey, but yours are cold – and why this game of hide and seek in this evening with no passengers aboard?

My cheek is warm – but you have all the wonders of the world underneath your sleeves

Maybe we should have met after long days were over

After more years of distress

Maybe we both are sinners
