reeds at my thighs
and burrs on my shoes
wandering with you
round a reservoir
now in my repertoire
now you are
the stars aren’t that bright
not tonight, not with these
city lights
and you’re walking fast
but i won’t ask to make it last, make it last
if this were a wishing well
i’d wear a diving bell to bring you the coins
the handful that i’d thrown in
you looked away
i slipped from my second skin
i’dve liked to kiss you
just to try but then i’dve
to lie to say you
were the only one that day
yeah i know how it sounds
but it comes and goes in rounds
maybe you could come and stay
or maybe it’s me that has to say
if this were a wishing well
i’d wear a diving bell to bring you the coins
the handful that i’d thrown in
you looked away
i slipped from my second skin
in front of geese and god
i could not find a thought to voice
we talked of finding ways
to spell the phrase
needed for a song like it’s a choice
if this were a wishing well
i’d wear a diving bell to bring you the coins
the handful that i’d thrown in
you looked away
i slipped from my second skin
