and i let her in

Out across the park

Pine needles pressed into

Your palms

 

Distress

Drunk and direct

Unharmed as of yet

But not your heart

 

Cold coral stone

Yellow as the sun

To the beach with

A bottle of rum

 

Down the hill as fast as can be

I remember something

Vines and thorny trees

Racing from the dam

 

A sky I've been with

Seen a few times before

Saw it and I knew

I would soon be gone

 

I've wasted my time

So many times

Left so many places

Without a goodbye

 

Unharmed as of yet

But not your heart

Wow, I could relate so well to this . . . .

I've wasted my time

So many times

Left so many places

Without a goodbye
