| I read about a runaway
|
| Just saw on a pint of milk today
|
| And then I poured myself a glass
|
| And drank
|
| It made me think of Florida
|
| And miles and miles of oranges
|
| Vacationers and rent-a-cars
|
| With their skin burnt dark and hard
|
| Like coral bracelets
|
| It all recalls bits of you
|
| Everything’s orange in hue
|
| Like this bracelet you strapped into place
|
| Before you went away
|
| Coral bracelet in place of you
|
| Coral to compliment blue
|
| Skies above
|
| I don’t see them anymore
|
| Only coral evermore
|
| I thought about a stowaway
|
| Onboard a boat to faraway
|
| And then I ran myself a bath
|
| And got in
|
| It made me think of daffodils
|
| And some old-fashioned hospital
|
| With nurses in their uniforms
|
| All their toenails painted orange
|
| Like coral bracelets
|
| It all recalls bits of you
|
| Everything’s orange in hue
|
| Like this bracelet you strapped into place
|
| Before you went away
|
| Coral bracelet in place of you
|
| Coral to compliment blue
|
| Skies above
|
| I don’t see them anymore
|
| Only coral evermore
|
| I heard about a holiday
|
| Away o' up in Galloway
|
| Where little lambs run wild
|
| And princes
|
| Wear coral bracelets
|
| It all recalls bits of you
|
| Everything’s orange in hue
|
| Like this bracelet you strapped into place
|
| Before you went away
|
| Coral bracelet in place of you
|
| Coral to compliment blue
|
| Skies above
|
| I don’t need them anymore
|
| I don’t choose what to wish for
|
| Only coral evermore |
