A Love Song

Coach window zoetrope
The embers flicker past
December blues, future youth, presents to buy, presently
Remembering the past
If days ahead were ours
Free for us to play like cards
We’d build a house in October just to watch it blow over by wintertime

It’s just you and me
And the poppy fields and willow trees
Ragged rooftops and fireflies
Trees and benches and riversides
Lover, how the time flies
When I have you by my side
It’s just you and me

Days shrinking from both sides
Days I have by your side
The blind leading the blindly nostalgic
When these tired eyes of mine cry
Walk back along lodge close
Safe long as you keep me close
I’m unforgivable you’re unforgettable I’m irretrievable

It’s just you and me
And the poppy fields and willow trees
Ragged rooftops and fireflies
Trees and benches and riversides
Lover, how the time flies
When I have you by my side
It’s just you and me

If you want it to be
