Something For Vanessa

Ya give it up

Before I had any chance to give to you

Ya give it up

‘Fore I’d had enough time to share

 

Why did you leave me?

You cut out before the end of the song

You left me inhibited as the day is long

There’s a torchlight burning here

That never goes out

The lighthouse is overloaded with impatience

Waiting for you to show anyhow

 

I can still see you dancing

How can I forget?

The spinning little girl

Didn't realize you were in descent

 

No surprise in some ways

Always have to keep us all guessing

Dontcha?

Not so crass, but you’re timing's way off

Expression snuffed out

When you turned your lights down

It’s distracting

You oughta be here still

What the hell were you thinking?

You’re such a pill

 

Ya were sick and tired?

Of all that spinning around

Ya were so tired?

So ya just sat down

 

Silly girl

[FrancescaX]

how can you not know? only awesome guys coin cool names from their experiences. ;)

[gombeggar]

ahh...i remain cool by my humble person...and appreciate my experiences for all that they are and wut they have made of me

reading with you into her head ,hard to change the influences she put on as a hat,but you have now set her down to be silly and smiling at your love.

[NaomiJim]

I love this. Especially the "Ya were sick and tired?
Of all that spinning around
Ya were so tired?
So ya just sat down

Silly girl"

[gombeggar]
