The Last Wish

Springtime garden, hurts the sting Drop me down slow and gently I was paper, you were the rock The scissors cut me you stayed on top Wanting to know, hunting to feel All the while even keel Cherry blossom, hand of stone Chrysanthemums align my tomb I was a ghost in your private eye Sleuthing up old pieces of your life In another time, in a simple rhyme I would make it work for you and I I was terrified, over-petrified Baby your love's much purer than mine But for tonight, only for tonight I would open my heart, quick jump inside It's taking off, this energy I need your magic around me I'll fall Without a cause, without a pause Stir up no fuss string me naked I'll crawl Without a sound, an empty crown Where your head should lay down to rest Could you be there all the time Will you think of me tonight Hover over the range, cook it down to size Staring down the barrel of a 45 Pull it on your own, get help on the phone Either option serves you to bemoan You set it off, we brought it down Freshly planted in this hazy town On a different stroke, playing up the mold From out the wound you served me cold I was a ghost in your private eye Sleuthing up old pieces of your life In another time, in a simple rhyme I would make it work for you and I I was terrified, over-petrified Baby your love's much purer than mine But for tonight, only for tonight I would open my heart, quick jump inside It's taking off, this energy I need your magic around me I'll fall Without a cause, without a pause Stir up no fuss string me naked I'll crawl Without a sound, an empty crown Where your head should lay down to rest Could you be there all the time Will you think of me tonight
