trouble



the blue tide is pulling me away
tomorrow will be easier
because tomorrow you will say,
spanish is the language on her tongue

my afternoons all warmed up
do you feel as blue as your blood?
see my bones all swelling up
my name sounds foreign from your lips

ah, you should know that there's no life
if it's not living by your life
write me letters from all your islands
lick the stamps, spell me out in postcards

red moon, red moon
oh how the dawn breaks half in bloom
see how streetlights all fade out
i'll give you everything but not so soon.

-


And she won't let me go.
