Back To The Sheep's Skin
It came quick like molasses from a tree
Her footsteps inching ever closer to me
And, I could feel invisible lines
Prison walls, if you’re so inclined to speak
In physical terms of what her nerves must have felt like
As she pressed her statue body into mine
We looked into each other’s granite eyes
And, knew it was possible to overcome
The barrier built to conceal our love in safety
But, safe love is a sure sign it’s not love at all
I could tell something strong was blowing in
The weather will always choose to change if it can
And, so will we
The table was set perfectly that morning
She said that was the reason she fell in love with me
And, I began to think why should I be perfect
I’m just another ant on this earth with dirt on my skin
Working so hard just to keep her happy
The pressure not to make a mistake made me unravel
Like a ball of wool with words for strings, she would ramble
And, I would tried to decipher anything I could
But, I couldn’t unweave her words back to the sheep's skin
Because it had nothing to do with her intentions for loving me
I could tell something strong was blowing in
The weather will always choose to change if it can
And, so will we
And, so will we
