Nothing Else Here Would Please

I woke up from dreaming of smooth ice cream and nothing else here would please Like a melody thread it was stuck in my head and won't leave It was midnight stark I was warm in the dark all the shops in my neighborhood closed So I laid in my bed with the taste from my head in my mouth When came tomorrow it wasn't tomorrow the darkness had ended today The sidewalks and streets filled with well-dressed people who move The taste of the evening showed no sign of leaving my tongue or my breath or my throat So I departed the way that I start when I must Hold on or let it go Cover eyes and never know Hold tight or just let it be I remember you worked as a soda jerk before that day our paths passed in the park But I can't recall whether you'd fall for the taste In all of my wondering there's something there thundering if I could just picture the cloud Maybe it's better to stay and be warmed by the sun Hold on or let it go Cover eyes and never know Hold tight or just let it be I go to bed dreaming or maybe it's scheming a way to get back to the place Though that way may be fraying it's better than staying awake
