Half and half again
Waiting as you search the bed
Gathering a ball of lint declaring that you've found something
Hung above the sea
The siren sound of you and me
Unseen dreams that pass us by release us from our lullaby

I call
And you repeat the reasons it won't work
All I know's that I want you
Why don't
We give up trying to make sense of it all
And leave it for the moment

Four days in a haze with you
For reasons we surrender to
Ceremony once devised we fulfill with shuttered eyes
Find a place remote
Where oil relents and fails to float
Where colours run and edges bleed and buckle breathless under sheets

I call
And you repeat the reasons it won't work
All I know's that I want you
Why don't
We give up trying to make sense of it all
And leave it for the moment
I pick up the phone and I'm alone inside my room at home
Your voice inside my ear sounds near I wonder if I need you here
We're driving in your car at night it's dark outside I glance out of the window at the moon
Oh, what am I to do
