Oh, this song I've been waiting to write
And I would sing you loud
If only for a little while
And I've been waiting all my life
My throat stoned with kindling and the morning paper
♪
And all the frame I've been waiting to fill
How it will cradle you and
Hold you there for a little while
Undiluted, you lay still
An instrument skin, God
I've missed you out in California
My fine companion
Have you seen what I have done?
To the bed once made
Well I hope you stay
♪
I watched the woman watch the sun
And how she held it close
She held it now for a little while
When her eyes, they came undone
They looked down to see me standing out in guilt and swallow
My fine companion
Have you seen what I have done
To the bed once made
Well I hope you stay
Well I hope I stay
