One, two, three, four Of the men who were loved by you Some were looking for a woman to play One who could venture to the empty rooms And carry their bodies away Of course theres a ghost And maybe one was a king He whispered but never came through One so alone, sad as a poem who hovered by the window then flew Away from poison rainbows Away from fallen snow Away from stumbling footsteps Away from so alone But to lie down beside you To feel the heart beat in your breath To carry my song to you To bury the words inside Is all I really want Twisted and simple You curled into the shoulder Of a joker that could not surrender Like some endless river He broke into the layers Sunsets darken the waters Of course there was laughter In this shelter of strangers In the rooms of I love you I love you One so alone, sad as a poem Who hovered by the window then flew Away from poison rainbows Away from fallen snow Away from stumbling footsteps Away from so alone But to lie down beside you To feel the heart beat in your breath To carry my song to you To bury the words inside Is all I really want
