a love story for my mind

[dwinston]

and next weekend is going to be marvelous
and this weekend has been pretty relaxed
and the weekend after next is again long

so life is good for the next few whiles.

...

i would never had expected to be falling in love with someone like you
especially at this very moment
it's quite peculiar
an odd match

but i suppose
we're old folks at heart
we can sing sinatra together
and we like the same nights

anticipation is perfect
and the way you blush too
i don't see a damn thing different about us
no none at all

so why not
time is short
as is life
we'll enjoy ourselves tonight
all summer
it'll be fine

that's what they say
those silly kids that know no better

but i'm faithful and patient
and we've done it before
so what's another 4 years
or seven
or more

we'll see when i'm twenty three
if i'm where i want to be
and we'll travel those plans
and makes dust on those tracks behind miles we've gone

europe will be old and tired and we'll be visited out
and africa'll be conquered by our pillaging feet
asia will always be too exotic to settle
and america is america
we won't be too happy in one place or another
forever

so a boat we'll be living on
that's how it'll be
and we'll always be here
wherever here is

or we won't be.
but i'm sure time will figure everything out.
it always does.

perhaps that's why i love the future.
and i love the past.
without time there is nothing.
no memory.

and i love the memories we've made,
make, and will.

...

and won't that be fine.
