The day starts like the rest I've seen. And all the carbon copy of where I've already been.. Days keep coming one on one,. And they keep coming.. Don't know what I wish I had,.
Babe will you save me a dance by the river,. Moonlight is serving us well,. She makes the whole world silhouette. Makes it flicker like film on a strip.
Just about the time the shadows call. I undress my mind and dare you to follow. Paint a portrait of my mystery. Only close my eyes and you are here with me.
It comes calling in the evening. When the temperature is dropping out. They said it don't get cold here. But I beg to differ now. . There is something in the shadows.
I will never let you let me leave. I promise I'm not lying. Go ahead ask anybody who has seen me trying. I'm not going. If it seems like I did. I'm probably waiting outside.
He bends his breath around my name. And I am humbled I feel small and plain.. But his arms are angels by his side.. You need not ask if they're open, just how wide..
There's too many things that i haven't done yet. Too many sunsets. I haven't seen. You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down. You would've thought by now.
I'm not scared of you, no. Or so i say. There's no reason to run. Although i may. I'm not as sure as i seem. This much i know. What does it mean you leave and i follow.
You can have Manhattan. I know it's for the best. I'll gather up the avenues. And leave them on your doorstep. And I'll tip toe away. So you won't have to say.
Tell me off in a letter. Completely ignore me. Gettin' high off of saying. Why you don't adore me?. Baby, please. . I'm well versed. In how I might be cursed.
Let's make a new one Mama, what do you say?. I love you when you let me pick out the name. Sugar and butter and flour and mother.... . I think today we'll start with strawberry cream.
We met on a rainy evening in the summertime. Don't think I need to tell you more. I needed a raise I worked so hard for this love of mine. Still I got nothing to show for it..
Head under water. And they tell me. to breathe easy for a while. . The breathing gets harder,. even I know that. Made room for me. . but it's too soon to see.
Okay, I can see it now it's all the same thing. Just different wrapping around it. No need to soften your words, they're still gonna hurt. So don't pull punches.
I don't care if the house is packed. Or the strings of light are broken. I don't care if the gifts are wrapped. Or there's nothing here to open. . Love is not a toy.
I wish I were pretty. I wish I were brave. If I owned this city. Then I'd make it behave. . And if I were fearless. Then I'd speak my truth. And the world would hear this.
He was a good man he had a good heart with a good soul. A good thing we had so I thought but I was wrong. He let me down by never letting on. He was as good as gone..
All the colors. Of the rainbow. Hidden 'neath my skin. . Hearts have colors. Don't we all know?. Red runs through our veins. . Feel the fire burning up.
Oh (oh oh oh). Oh (oh oh oh). Oh (oh oh oh). Oh (oh oh oh). . Keep drinkin' coffee. Stare me down across the table. While I look outside. . So many things I'd say if only I were able.
Waiting for the bus stop. Waiting for the concrete black top to settle down. Long enough for me to get off and get a little ground. I'm ready for the sea change.
