my last tango

thousands

no millions of hours

we've been skirting around this whole subject

like children stuck in a museum. and i'm dry now. my mouth will not speak

i'm weary and weak

and i only wanted to see you again. if that's unfair

just let me know

just write it down

and then i'll go. but you skate around my human skin

an apple where your throat begins

just say. just tell the stars to give a sign

put it in a bottle. say you're mine. and it's better

better than music

better than words to be with you

but better that we're apart. can't you feel it?

it's taken me over

left me for dead like ophelia. who knew a prince and survived?

and so i ask in every line

that i might learn of your design

because you skate around my human skin

your name is where my heart begins

just say. just tell the stars to give a sign

put it in a bottle. say you're mine. because you skate around my human skin

your name is where my heart begins

just say. just tell the stars to give a sign

put it in a bottle. say you're mine.
