A song, a rhyme…
Just to spend a little time
I always wonder
What you want from me
Perhaps an act
To show I care
A word, a touch
A longing stare
Oh what I’d give
To know what it could be
Should I sing til I can’t sing no more
Come crawling back up to your door
To bring you gifts
Whatever I can buy
By chance you
Simply need to hear
I love you whispered
In your ear…
Were it that easy
Surely I would try
But by judging what I know of you
A simple fix will never do
No, something
More complex is called at hand
Like: Help you swing
From every star
Or be as perfect
As you are
That’s where it sits
From what I understand
But trying to pin it down just so’s
Like trying to pin a wave, you know
Upon the sand
Like sung in that old song
And just like them
I’ve not a clue
Just what the hell
I’m s’posed to do
So on I go…
As you lead me along
