Sweeter than the song of a nightingale 
Gentler than the whisper of a spring wind
Quieter than the murmur of  summer  grass 
Softer than the symphony of hyacinths 

Hypnotic like the splash of blue seas
Tinkling like a stream that flows 
Mesmerizing like the cadence of rain 
Enchanting like the hush  of snow 

Like the faint breath of a scarlet dawn 
The rustle of clouds on a turquoise high 
A duet of  night and an ivory moon
A Capella of  stars in the sky

A hymn, a chant, a choir of angels 
Singing  on a rainbow of time 
Celestial is the serenade of love  
A tune and a note divine.

Deep in my brain there's a room
It contains nothing but doom
Leave that door shut
Continue your strut

Be careful what you say
Don't look at me that way
Just keep on walking
I need none of your talking

You know how to get the soda out of the can fast
You shake it up and let it blast
Don't jar it loose
Don't drink the juice

Don't light the fuse
Just let it snooze
This is your last warning
Or there'll be mourning

I can't help it let the true be told
I can't help it if the mirror's cold
I can't help it that the reflection's changed
I can't help it if I'm not the same
I can't help it so little remains
I can't help it tormented by the pain
I can't help it I'm almost gone
I can't help it, it's all gone wrong
I can't help it what's  been stole
I can't help it the mirror's cold

So very much, will I be missing you
It's leaving me a stranger blue

We drove down memory lane
Cigarette cartons scattered at our toes
Trying to end our days with the setting sun
We switched lanes.
Our teeth chattered in the wind
Car top down, my top off
Our fingers blue and our eyes red
We took the wrong exit.
Dangerous turns down dangerous streets
Doors locked, windows up
We recognized the signs at first but
Something changed.
The engine sputtered and your hands tightened on the wheel
I tensed, my shoulders locked just as our eyes did
And we crashed.
Our hearts skidded on the pavement
Road burn kissing our skin so gently
And just as the sun was gone from the day
So were we.
