| Your face is the face of everyone
|
| In and out of my life
|
| Your smile distracts me cleverly
|
| From the tenor of your eyes
|
| Every tear rolling out is like a pearl
|
| That I buy but can’t afford
|
| And did you know these little wrinkles
|
| Right above your cheeks
|
| Remind me of the times
|
| I waited patiently
|
| I’m here eating out of your hand
|
| I’m wearing your old flannel shirt
|
| I can live on the sparkle of your voice
|
| And your scrambled crumbled mouth
|
| Every word falling out
|
| Is like a pearl soft and round
|
| That I buy but can’t afford |
