thin slices of truth from the sandwich of life
Silently watching through the window as you play
Intent that every single note says exactly what you have to say
Will it disquiet you to know I hear your song?
I think about how lovely it would feel if you would only let me play along
I love you so
So here I go
I boldly strum the strings to let you know I’m there
You gently change your tune to let me know you care
I love you so
So here we go
I played the chords for Best Beloved and she said “It sounds like an invitation.”
I’ve had my eye on you for a while
just thinking of you makes me smile
I wonder if you’d like to go for a walk
or maybe just sit here and talk
you seem sort of quiet or maybe you’re shy
your secretive upside down smile caught my eye
let’s go for some coffee or chocolate or tea
or maybe you don’t notice me
maybe you’re thinking of somebody who
means more than a little to you
maybe the smile is a memory
that has nothing to do with me
the voices around us mean nothing to me
as long as the crowd lets me see
that quizzical smile and faraway eyes
that fill me with mad butterflies
maybe you keep all your secrets inside
with no one for you to confide
maybe the smile is hiding the fears
you’ve hidden from all of these years
the mad butterflies bring you over my way
the secretive smile makes you say
“I wonder if you’d like to go for a walk
or maybe just sit here and talk”
