listen, dear girl...
hear the words that i speak;
the words that i cry ;
the words that i preach:
it’s my eyes you see
and it’s pleasing at best,
we’re blackbody souls
in a sea searching rest.
i promised your back;
babe, you said you got mine.
we took to the rain
like children with time.
but hours are moments
and passion’s our cash
we take to the sky
to forget all the ash.
so i know it ain’t easy
i know it ain’t sweet
just take all your time
it won’t bother me.
i’ll watch your illusion,
their minutes at hand:
i know they’re your beacon.
i know where you stand.
but listen, dear girl,
though lies will draw close,
my arms ’round you heart
will never let go.
