I Call

Half and half again Waiting as you search the bed Gathering a ball of lint declaring that you've found something Hung above the sea The siren sound of you and me Unseen dreams that pass us by release us from our lullaby I call And you repeat the reasons it won't work All I know's that I want you Why don't We give up trying to make sense of it all And leave it for the moment Four days in a haze with you For reasons we surrender to Ceremony once devised we fulfill with shuttered eyes Find a place remote Where oil relents and fails to float Where colours run and edges bleed and buckle breathless under sheets I call And you repeat the reasons it won't work All I know's that I want you Why don't We give up trying to make sense of it all And leave it for the moment I pick up the phone and I'm alone inside my room at home Your voice inside my ear sounds near I wonder if I need you here We're driving in your car at night it's dark outside I glance out of the window at the moon Oh, what am I to do
