I would hold it open for the sight of shores unsighted
I would sign up scores un-knighted
I would assemble armies to give you an ocean
and unite divided countries to show emotion
I'd run through the wall, dear
I'd weep in the sea
But a million years won't return you to me
You're a dinosaur's drivel
You're a bird's apogee
You're a melody's opus
and a cranberry tea
mixed with blood oranges
the height of a dream
but I swear I won't lie dear,
you're ancient to me.
I will write you a waltz
and build you a palace
built of blue chalice
lapiz lazuli
Be conspicuous, darling
You're ancient to me
I will redeem my weeping
with soft apologies
I know that it's changed now-
it's always changing
And the lilt of your lace, hon
Impossible seas
makes me rhyme to the moon
and fall on my feet
That have never quite broken
Not once or not yet
But let's first ask the trees, then
before we forget
Always getting cocky
and running down the clock
Til the people arrive.
