1 Minute 39
vs 1
Down by the wishing well on a really sunny afternoon
you were badly singing out of tune, but didn’t care
so I left you to get some more oranges and the avocados that you like
you were looking at the kids, with kites
they dragged around, like boats that pull their anchors
when they spot a hurricane coming from the Northwest
they were busy smiling, laughing at the ballroom butterflies
figure-eighting through the blue, blue sky
serenading us in mid- July
just you and I
vs 2
We ran into the lake through the epileptic crash of waves
emanating when our bodies made first contact-
reminds me of the 1 minute 39
when I held you by the green, green pine
you were biting your lip that night
I asked you why?
You said you “had a thing for someone else,” just not me
I started to back away
I thought I misread you perfectly but somehow here we are
looking at the ballerina stars, taking in this performance art
it’s gloriously bright
bridge:
make a wish now
Helped me forget
all my problems
you have been sent
(whistle)
vs 3:
you don’t have to thank me
for letting you be you (yourself)
only in the rearview
I look back cuz you’re right here beside when I go 65
Billie Holliday (and) the wind collide
when you lay your lilly head on my shoulder, I am light
when you lay your lilly head on my shoulder, I am light
when you lay your lilly head on my shoulder I am light
