Can't You See Caught in an imperfect moment, it's true covered up in torrential rain, painted blue the black eye throbs the grey sky sobs and one more time I fall down on my knees yeah one more night and I'll see the forest for the trees can't you see can't you see the love tearing around in this cage I set it free for you Captured in photographic fatalism, beautiful the dreams I'd dream of you, caught up my soul and I never wanna wake glue together the heartbreak and one more time I'll chase this feeling to the end once more try to possess the intangible, catch the wind can't ever win can't ever begin to plant my seeds in your fertile heart please stay open for me Can't you see can't you see the love I've been painting in nocturnal eternity and love I've been straining to set the butterfly free can't you see you must see me and what I've been feeling all this time for you Guaranteed to always need you, it's true pathetic romantic but I don't know what to do but I'll chase it through the fog just like a dog and once and for all understand what I feel for you yeah one in a million chance but I know it's real and true when I see you can't you see that you published the page of my shy poet soul I wanna be beautiful like you like you are can't you see Can't you see can't you see the love I've been wringing out of my heart pens the song I've been writing to catch that damn wind and put it in a bottle your hand on the throttle, can't you see you must see just what you've been doing all this time to me Can't you see can't you see this love tearing around in my cage and love, the song still drying on the page it's for you I set it free for you can't you see you've got me on my knees it's true "How do the angels get to sleep, when the devil leaves the porchlight on?" -- Tom Waits, 'Mr. Siegal' [This message has been edited by soul drifter (07-29-2008 01:21 PM).] |
