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
