Meet me in the alley we’ll try to tally
all the stars in the sky smiling
Dinner on the stove rain comin in droves
all the drops are excited to finally find
a friend
or two
cos it’s been a long journey
down
Meet me in the morning issueing a warning
hide us in this box from the gestapo
Hold you in my arms cars screaming alarms
to give away our position close
your eyes
to hear
silence between our minds
loud
I think I’ll be fine
once I
get a grip on what’s happening
Then maybe we’ll try
to find
another place for this passioning
But I won’t supply
the sky
with typical everyday blasphemy
Cos babe you and I
need time
to buckle our love down fastening
Meet me on the corner where a little warmer
atmosphere can cushion us
Tell it to the air we’re sellin our care
to the highest bidder who passes by
then we
can have
all the best strawberry
pie
Meet me on the distance as our hearts listen
to each other rhythming
Miles in between seem so obscene
yet I can feel you lying right
here next
to me
and all the pieces fit
whole
I think I’ll be fine
once I
figure out how to stop panicking
Then maybe we’ll try
to find
this oddity they call sanity
But I won’t supply
the sky
with reasons to cause calamity
Cos babe you and I
need time
to write our scarytale happily
Tonight I find myself in you find yourself in me
Tonight there’s no second guessing game over-whelming
Tonight separation becomes adjacency tether
Tonight the Tortoise and the Hare race home together
and no one will ever
know who wins
cos once it ends
it just begins
So when -- we go -- into -- our own
personal dreamscapes
home sweet home in our imaginations
That’s where -- we’ll have -- a place -- to nap
underneath the stars
somewhere far away from obligations
And there -- we can -- forget -- this land
the darkness invading
snug and warm, safe in our dream vacations
Some day -- will end -- won’t need -- pretend
nothing in our way
hang this poem over the fireplaces
