Calico

Lend a shoulder to your lover

Sinking slow in the August heat

I am older, half my mother

But God this time just carries me

Could you hold her?

Could you love her?

As you did in humidity

Since the winter you've gone colder

Purple hands and purple feet

It's comical and bright

How your head's on right ways

Just calico inside

With the head on sideways

Undress my body before I go

Soon babies thighs go indigo

Hold your index at my waistline

Where you won such a careful love

We are only half our mothers

Look how this time just ruins us

It's comical and bright

How your head's on right ways

Just calico inside

With the head on sideways

Calendar lover you tire so quick

If you'd say it out loud

Well I could loosen my fist

But I'm only a sweetheart

When you see it fit

(I'll say it)

Comical and bright

With your hands on my waist

I'm calico inside

With my head on sideways
