Lyrics
years from now
the soft sky on my spoon
is a concave reflection of
the pretty world outside my room
that i see but never touch
how i long to taste it
would it be asking too much
for a bite?
and you?ll wonder years from now
why you worried so anyhow
just take a bow
your moon is my moon
can we serenade her silly
with some sweet forgotten tune
in the night, side by side
like two lonely sequins
in the burned out ballroom
of my pride
and you?ll wonder years from now
why you worried so anyhow
just take a bow
the safe smell of her hair
was alive in the picture
of me standing there
at her side
and you?ll wonder years from now
why you worried so anyhow
just take a bow
