We went through the motions Until all went motionless (The otter frollicked turning everything into a game of joy to being alive) Touch became accidental at best to our ways Once we could touch but now nothing more (The otter nipped at the turtle flipped about as it played) Words dripped from our tongues Heavy like molasses as the intent fades away (Down the grass the otter slides into the river Over and over like a little child) Reason lost to accusations , accusations took it's toll . Accusations took our time , creating false crime (I watch as the otter swims on it's way Dipping , diving to where I can't say) Now I sit in the darkness with full moon fever Wondering how could something turn so wrong that once was so right

Otter and Other
We went through the motions Until all went motionless (The otter frollicked turning everything into a game of joy to being alive) Touch became accidental at best to our ways Once we could touch but now nothing more (The otter nipped at the turtle flipped about as it played) Words dripped from our tongues Heavy like molasses as the intent fades away (Down the grass the otter slides into the river Over and over like a little child) Reason lost to accusations , accusations took it's toll . Accusations took our time , creating false crime (I watch as the otter swims on it's way Dipping , diving to where I can't say) Now I sit in the darkness with full moon fever Wondering how could something turn so wrong that once was so right
