baby
I’m crooning, I’m beautiful,
Draped over this guitar for you
Head and throat and heart reaching out to you, baby
I’m prostrate,
You’re goddess
And I’m wearing every talisman
Every thing offering
An earnest wish for your return
You / I / Self / We
got a little lost, didn’t we, baby?
A little hurt, scared and angry, maybe
But we can’t leave ourselves, baby
So here I am, here we are
Here’s looking at you, baby
For this whole life long
My self
My home
My loving lady
Come back to me, my own, my own
It’s different, now
I love you more
Forever. Forever.
