Her Song

Sweetheart how can it be We tiptoed in the shallows Now we're oceans deep What a time it's been of unravelling A steady tide of revelations dazzling Diminutive one As sweet upon the lips as she is acid-tongued Trickster, feeder, she'll embrace you Then cut you from your high horse Sharp as a razor She'll grind your gears and start your ignition She'll smite you with a look from the lotus position Come on baby smite me You stuck around, stuck around While I stumbled blindly through Now like a hungry hound, hungry hound I want all of you Steadfast and true You knew more than I knew You knew more than I knew Awaking with you Disposition sunny honey Breakfast is fruit So what'll it be babe A coffee and a stroll around the Liberties And later we'll dance And I will delight in checking you out in your yoga pants Drinks at seven, noodles at eight I'll bring my bike and swing 'round your place You'll have to walk down all of those floors To buzz me in that confounded front door There you are Man I'm buzzed to see ya You stuck around, stuck around While I stumbled blindly through Now like a hungry hound, hungry hound I want all of you Steadfast and true You knew more than I knew You knew more than I knew You've opened my heart up There's hope at the start Maybe this time around We may not run aground Or baby if we do Equipped with resolve And the tools to cut loose we may Cast out from the shoreline Leave doubt behind us and Sail into the blue I care for you It's crazy to me baby but I truly do All at once To cherish and to grow with you is all I want You move me In all your stoicism and fragility Quiet creative, secretive bard She'll write you sweet words in a birthday card Tentative sweetheart, lover of love Who'd do for me anything if push came to shove And baby I for you You stuck around, stuck around While I stumbled blindly through Now like a hungry hound, hungry hound I want all of you Steadfast and true You knew more than I knew You knew more than I knew Oh the magnitude of feeling for you Is so astoundingly, pulse-poundingly sweet So sweet Compounded by the certainty it ain't a one-way street Where we meet It's a noodle bar on Capel street and you're with me Happy Can you believe we're happy Oh Can you believe we're happy Yeah Can you believe Can you believe Can you believe We're happy Oh
