Sight

A single blue star
in the spilled ink sky
uncovering clues of who we are
and maybe just why

Sarah darling,
queen firefly of this town
you bring up the moon
just to pull the shade down
and let me sleep

Damn, I love you
you get it right
only you are true
the only thing in sight

Taste the night air
all the evidence of autumn
is breezing through her hair
as I hear the green fields hum

I watch her jump from cloud to cloud
screaming our love into the dawn
and my heart beat so proud
in the grooves of her song

Sarah girl,
goddess of my everything
you finger paint the dawn
such lovely light you bring
all I wanna do is...

I wanna be your favorite song
I wanna take you and wring out all the wrong
I wanna decorate your hair with dew
and never ever let my eyes lose sight of you
'cause only you are true
damn, I love you
you restore my sight
make me feel all right
and you leave me dreaming
of life's beloved meaning
I've found here
within you
damn, Sarah honey,
I love you.

"Some rides don't have much of a finish;
that's the ride I took." --Gin Blossoms, '29'
