Scattered Love & Things The pale dawn I wear on my face today as I'm thinking about you, so far away this lonesome blue city feels empty to me as I'm staring at the sun streaming through a yellow kite stuck in a tree There's a songwriter sleeping inside me and I'm writing about your eyes of summer green napkin poetry and newspaper songs and you've been staring at me through these broken rhymes for so long I'm looking through the low clouds of morning tracing a flight path to you I'm picking up all my scattered love and things hoping this love will breeze right through you and back to me Your perfect eyes you wear like a stoplight you wear me out, you take me out tonight this wistful blue city feels open to me as I'm staring at the moon hanging on the branch of a cranberry tree I'm looking through the glowing clouds of evening tracing the shadows right through I'm mapping out all my scattered love and things things that will lead this love back to you and right through me You left me and now I'm paying for your crimes but I've yet to pay them all off stormclouds may hang on me sometimes but someday I'll shake them off I'm still trying to be John Lennon you're still trying my patience your words cut through me again and again but I'm still giving you a chance There's a typewriter somewhere inside you where I'm writing about my futile tries to keep you bent leaf sonnets and tarot readings and I've been starting at you through these broken aluminum wings Picking up your scattered love and things things like guitar strings and your charms thinking of the wonder that tomorrow brings when I fall back, just like a housecat, into your cozy loving arms don't breeze right through me as I come back to you "Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, and tell them; and the truth of truths is love." --Philip James Bailey |
