Dear friend, I write to you swiftly
With scarlet ink and a woe
My note will be fleeting
But promise while reading
To hang on to every word

All the days are forgetting
They told me I was alone
But leafing through pages
Does nothing for aged
Fingers that work

It all started on a day like any other
All the salmon has swum to the Sea
When my lover she darted away down the stream
With the heart that she'd taken from me

And my chest though It ached there was hope
A little beacon of light
Though my sunniest days were now stolen a

I've never been the kind to fall in love
It's just me and a couple of fleas and that's all I want
'Cause I've got my back and my back's got me and I'm good as good can be
Is what I thought, until I met you

As branches swayed in the autumn breeze
Our ember eyes met between t

We're on a family trip to seek out the edge of the world
We load up the car full of junk and set off down the road
Head pressed against glass watching days quickly pass and grow old
Not sure of the way but we'll get there someday I was told

Do all the lights intertwine at the e

Put down my backpack and take off my shoes
The journey was good but your knees are still bruised
Oyster pearl eyes and cobwebs for hair
You're a shadow with nobody there

And the harvest Moon, shimmering, melted in two
And poured silver rain into the stream
Where I cross

Plastic eyes, frozen stare
Answer me, I know you're there
Why do I feel so far away?
When you're just behind the veil we share?

My plastic heart begins to beat
As I hear the blissful message beep
I wander in electric dreams
Is there nothing this machine can't do?

My dear stars in the sky
You fly over me
Smiling past the rooftops in the night, just out of reach
One day you'll find me
(Two, three, four)

My dear fish of the sea
However many leagues apart that we may be
The same salt graces our gills
And fills my heart up so

I wonder if you'll leave me behind someday
Among the wildflowers and the lilies sleeping by the way
But it’s okay
Because I would do anything for you

The sunlight dances beyond the yard
And painted your eyes in green
But you're fixated on the candytufts
And you hadn

You never fail, my swallowtail
Sitting so sweet in the palm of my hand
To make me feel safe, and fill with me with grace
Wings as pale as the Sun on the sand

Merry and bright, my cabbage white
Freshly steamed milk of the moonlight
For you are the morning, the noon and t

Your eyes have a way
Of making me go blind
Your smile does a thing
That just melts my mind
It feels like I'm abseiling in another world
And someone's dropped the line
And I feel myself drifting away

Your pride is so high
Yet you still act so shy
You're a sor
