"Show me how you do that trick the one that makes me scream," she said, "the one that makes me laugh," she said and threw her arms around my neck. "Show me how you do it and I promise you, I promise that I'll run away with you. I'll run away with you." Spinning on that dizzy edge, I kissed her face and kissed her head, and dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow. "Why are you so far away?" she said, "Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you, that I'm in love with you?"
You. Soft and only you. Lost and lonely, you. Strange as angels, dancing in the deepest oceans, sitting in the water, you're just like a dream. You're just like a dream.
Daylight licked me into shape. I must have been asleep for days, and moving lips to breathe her name, I opened up my eyes and found myself alone. Alone. Alone above a raging sea that stole the only girl I loved, and drowned her deep inside of me. You.
