pretense

finished my paperwork

before i set to dreaming

through the night

pretending's okay with me

i can imagine every woman caught by the light

i can imagine that it's really you

the hornets emit a constant sound

night birds pipe in their harmony 

and i sit on the porch

trying to stay in tune with

everything this neighborhood can bring

but i don't have to pretend about the nature of things

the nature of things between you and me

the light will surely catch you

just as the rain will catch up to me

c'mon baby give me a little sunrise

let me fall into you in a shaded hammock on a tall tree

eventually we will know the night through a cool breeze

and we'll no longer have to pretend

Tender and loveable!

Nice! This is really cool, I love this. And this is cool, especially how the words sometimes rhymed together perfectly. Really nice flow all the way through and all that.
