The Hawks & The Sparrows

(album: Skins - 2011)

-I tried love and marriage, and happy parents
And B.I. Hospital rooms
I've got sticky fingers, and parking meters
And amblyopia too
-Love was touching elbows
And clearing tables
Halloween was the mood
Dreams of Mia Farrow and Broken Arrows
Would promenade through our rooms
On the corner of Teeth and June
I slumber right next to you
And I pick up all the rest
And I fold your birthday dress
And I humbly submit these words to you...
These prayers I'm whispering
You're just not listening?
-Now I've got Hawks and Sparrows
And doctor's hours
Walks from home back to school
Then at, dusk retreating
To beds we're reading
Those little books in your room
-Love was crossing sidewalks and
Chalk on my walls
Ivy creeps to your room
I have learned life's lessons and
Tucked my tail in
Between my legs like you do
On the corner of Teeth and June
I slumber right next to you
And I pick up all the mess
And I fold your birthday dress
I humbly, -I carefully, submit these words to you
(May all your dreams come true on the corner of Teeth and June)
(May all your dreams come true on the corner of Teeth and June)
