slide guitar

I wish I had a lover
or maybe just some where to be
it's easy to get distracted
when this flame won't let me see
and the wax is all bedazzled
the sunshine's mane is frazzled
our minor cloudy hassle
we promised to the sea

you hate when I am craving
and still you're craving me
my friends wish that I had you
they've sung us in a tree
your nose was always perfect
and I shiver poetry
you gripped me by the shoulders
you picked those pearls for me

I kissed you at the movie
when I was just thirteen
you laid yourself before me
by night philosophy
you wish that I would sing you
into sweet clarity
but I am just a lover
promised to the sea

Sometimes I dream of leaving
and flying to the sea
where we would swallow pearl songs
and night philosophy
and kiss inside the movies
and revel clarity
but dreams reveal a lightening
what works makes sense to me
