I wish you love
to you this is reaching
I wish the clouds
to you they are teaching
my dark of night
in you I am  seeking
golden thread to sew the tear

I lay it here
I lay it bare
the moon and stars
and in you I share

You ignore
my loudest pleas
I've worn a hole in
both the knees
your kiss
the one that sets it free
my tired worn-out heart

Faded and jaded
maybe I'm dated
I am just hopelessly wishing
lips of sun to be kissing
way in the deep
I lay down to sleep
in my faded denim dreams

hoping I can find a patch
realize I'm quite a catch
to fix the whole
...my perfect match.
