Tears in the Typing Pool

Succumb to the line 
The finishing time 
The long distance runner 
Has stopped on the corner 
But I won't give up 
Although I've stopped too 

Before the end of me and you 
The patchwork explains 
The land is unchanged 

Interpret the rooms 
My tears in the typing pool 
The letters are sighing 
The ink is still drying 
I told you the truth 
And now I sigh too 

The page turns on me and you 
Across that white plain 
The land is unchanged
