Marry me and we can forget
About the smoldering dream of youth
We can escape the don’ts and the whos
And we can have all the haves
And take all the wants
And kiss all of our promises goodnight:
Goodmorning, fight the setting sun
And never cry again

Why worry
Why spend silk satin sheets
On empty heads
And spill the vastness of the starry night sky
On no one but ourselves
We can forget the sorrows forever
Of yours without mine
And paint the bedroom a nice shade of green
