The Dave

We laid side by side as the night untwined in
Front of us as the static from the TV screen helped
To keep my mind from your heart. "I feel that
Our ocean can't help but be lacking some water
By now," so you picked me up and took me to
That pond out by your house and said, "Baby,
Drink up, it's the only thing that will save us both."

What if love fades away with the passing of our
Bodies from this world to the next? What then
Will become of our bond and all the promises you
Told me last night over the fuzz of the telephone?

"I can't say what will become of us but if there
Is a heaven and only I make it up there I promise
That I'll chop off both my wings and fall to your
House somewhere a little South of here. It might
Seem foolish but in my starry nights I have invisioned
Only you kissing my forehead each morning as the
Alarm takes us both from our favorite place."

Then a slow song started playing from the radio in
My truck and we gripped eachother close and as
Our twirling met the rhythm of the music our lips
Fell as one and I didn't care about what might come
After I die, because I know you'd be there.
