The fridge comes on and it goes off again A car parks up and there's nobody in My coat's on my legs and it's not enough and the radiator's cold to the touch and I don't get up and you're not asleep either A wall and a door and about six feet between me on this and you in the bed You haven't turned over. You haven't moved and that bed creaks, so I would know if you'd moved. And you haven't. and you're not asleep either The heating comes on at about half six and a bird starts up and it doesn't quit I've lain here all night counting things I heard and I've not said a thing and you've not stirred Not one single word At seven I get up and stand at the door with my hand on the handle, the same as before and I say your name once and I don't say it twice and the other side stays quiet and you're not asleep either and you're not asleep either and you know that I'm not and you know that I'm not and neither of us gets up
