I’m the salt-water fish In your fresh water eyes You compose me a wish That our love’s a disguise Drops from the ocean Run from your stream One single motion And you wash me clean Trailing whipping fish Beached upon the shore You’re my pretty trout I’m the sea you adore You're the fresh and the clean I’m the torrential spray You’re the naiveté I’m about to give way You thought that you'd change me I'm you yet unclean I stare into your eyes And you see what I mean I can drink from your depths And filled from your eyes But I can’t nourish you So I'll make you despise Treated and poured In the heat from above Wash away the salty taste Of our incomplete love You won't drown in the sea Let the earth be your death For when you long for me You'll gasp for every breath [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 05-10-2001).] |
