Sleep Well, Clarinet

How do we tell?
And what do we do when life has so much to show you?
Is it a passing moment, like a fleet of ships sailing on their way?
Or a chance we see, so pure, so crystal clear as day.
I'll try not to blink.
I'll keep my gaze fixed on the mountains, Ms. Empire State.
That passing moment, the island sun came out to greet.
Your skin was graced by that same sun, and I knew I was so dead meat.
My Clarinet song - the loveliest tune.
She sings like a songbird with her eyes and melting stare.
A tune to hum together - a song I'll need so soon.
What do I do when all I can see is you?
Yeah, the view's not so bad, but the miles create makeshift plans.
That passing moment - oh I need you more than anything.

Hello, Penelope.
I hope you've been well.
That you're taking care of T, wonder if you've thought about me.
Do you wish I was still around? Just taking up some space.
Remember the times we stayed up all night and then fell asleep alone?
Do you wish we could go back? I sure fucking don't.
Let me speak with her. I wont dare ask why.
Today I thought of Tony.
Damn, we really cried.
I dont know how to say it.
I dont know how to break it.
Today I left the island and I'm never coming back.
No, its not you.
You dont complicate things.
It's not your fault, you will always be loved.
Please take care of my friend.
Give me one more smile cause I'm everything but gone.
It's hard to say goodbye.
Would you be a good girl for me?

Baby, dont you cry.
Baby, shut your eyes.
The morning sun is trying to get in.
The afternoon's been wondering where you've been.
So if you want to try and love again, well then I volunteer to let the sunlight in.
Baby, you've got style.
You know you drive me wild.
So if you'd let me stay, well then I promise you I'll take your pains away.
Baby, dont you cry.
Baby, now open your eyes.
This is life, we twist and turn.
You win.
You lose.
Either way, you learn.
So, do you want love?
Well then I'm gonna give it all and lift you up.
What do you remember?
What else do you see?
What else do you live for?
You've got company.
The mountains are calling, and I must go...
I promise you I'll love you 'til the day.
I promise to give you something real.

Cheeks and your freckles - I'm lifelong insane.
I've wanted this more times than I can explain.
Sea of trees - I've enlisted your trust.
Hands you've shown me, so soft to the touch.
But I know you were falling.
You were falling back to meet me.
Subtle arched back.
Now on the floor, now on the floor.
Show me your cards, I'll reveal all of mine.
Show me your moves and we'll tear up the time.
You called come hither, so naturally I came.
You could come with me, and we'd be the same.
But I hope you're still falling.
You're still falling gracefully into natures womb.
I'll hold on, you hold on.
We've burnt the clocks down, dismantled the miles.
Wrought with abrasions and all short breathed smiles.
Show me all your oh's.
Show me all your body, mind and soul.
But you know you have me.
You have got me right where you want me and I have no hopes of escaping.
I just want to feel alive and feel it with you.
Feel me, feel you.

In The Lavender Haze

Bodies gone, just twinkling stars up above.
In the dark the only thing left to believe in is love.
I'll say the same thing you said to me.
Stay close; the one I adore the most.
Darling, don't you know you shouldn't play with fire?
Sure the flame's pretty, but the embers sing "Don't touch me".
Yeah, the breeze feels fine.
These Autumn leaves are yours and they're mine.
After Winter's theft, each other's now all we've got left.
Oh I need you so much closer to me - hold you through that cold, dark night.
Need you so much closer to me - hold you through that cold, dark night.
