Words Can't Stray When Ears Don't Stay

the hours float by too quickly for us,
let's drown, my love, before we rust,
let's fill our lungs with sweeter wishes
than the world who only seeks seductive kisses.
Wish me well, love, for you are growing weary
while your voice falls unfortunatly short of hearing.
Hold my hand again and whisper this idea,
of life, love, and those things we feel.
Drift away...drift far away...
show me why you won't stay...
