it would be that
but only if I knew how
again
Could something like
that get lost? no only
a little a little lost
but if only I remember
how I mean she or I
oh a freight train goes by
& they always do & did
do
I mean a real one too
that I’m not on & am it
very seriously
in this serious love world
that one
where something oddly music
will pass through your
night
and it will be me
sweet me.
