way with words

[nalaladina]

you used to call me up for dinner around 4 pm
we'd share at least two glasses of wine
and you'd paint my face with glittering words that read
that i was yours and you were mine

we danced down the hall
we danced down the street
you told me that this is the way
that you want your heart to beat

(chorus)
then you'd sing me a love song
yes you'd sing me a love song
yes you'd sing me a love song
and i will sing a love song for you
and i will sing a love song for you, soon

your way with words leaves me mute and stranded for a day, on my island wondering what to say
your way with words makes me feel like jumping from a tree into the sand to sit and play there on my knees

doot doot doot doo doo
your words make me hear
security
doot doot doot doo doo
your sonorities
remind me of days on brick streets
when your words told me the way
you want your heart to beat and you'd
(chorus)
