When my love complained, every word

A breath on my last dandelion

And so lovers will leave and their tears

Souvenirs for the very first time



I searched the world reluctant

To find a lover enthusiastic

Speak to me barely if at all



When i was a boy, funny things

Water wings kept you confident

A belly of wine, similar

To keep yourself indifferent



And i scraped the bargain basement

Bought a lover less than fantastic

Spoke to me barely if at all



Taste perfume that burns my throat

And i am free of envelope

Squeeze an instant out of me



And she placed a hand between our lips

How could anything be so precious

She kissed me barely if at all



And she, with her hand between our lips

Gave me what we now have in common

She left me barely if at all
