The Take Off and Landing of Everything |
| You have the time worn shimmer of tarantella on a Tuscan plain |
| Patiently listen as dull reminiscences fall from my jaws in a jumble again |
| You hold a lamp in my slumber |
| I resurface just to do a new number on you |
| You kiss the wrist of the hand that has twisted itself all into your hair |
| You close the blinds and doors behind me and clear all obstacles |
| on the stair |
| You are an open book |
| I’m on the bathroom floor |
| Yours is an open door |
| I’m throwing ballast overboard |
| You are a genius teetering |
| Hurricane wild be calm as the deep |
| Every living thing needs watering |
| I miss loving you |
| Actually loving you |
| Words on my bedroom wall |
| Speak of my stone cold care |
| A prayer to the take off and landing of everything |
| Leaving your lips as we took to the sky |
| And a prayer to the take off and landing of everything |
| I’ll say for you and I will for all time |
| Wrote on my bedroom wall |
| Spoke of your deep true care |
| Over my shoulder and just as I leave |
| I see you slipping the world up your sleeve |
| Well take it and run |
| Go on |
| Go on |
| That’s why it’s there |
| In a prayer to the take off and landing of everything good |
