Your Empty Song

I like the way your hands move up and down the strings
and how your eyes flutter to a close when you begin to sing
To me?
No, not now..not yet
Not here, not in this moment
But baby, your eyes still sparkle and my knees still shake
everytime I wake up from this coma to see your gentle face

Yeah, if you would just write me a song
and pretend to sing it from your heart,
and although it would be a cacophony of empty words
with nothing right and everything all wrong
I would sing it my head
when I'm laying wide-eyed in my bed
with only your empty words full of love to drift into my dreams..

Middle of the day and you're in a crowd
And not even this big apple can undermine the glow of your body
and the smell of you on me
when you greet me with a hug for the first time in, I don't know, but it seems like years
Yeah, a wink would make me tremble, and a kiss would bring me to the ground,
but what I want more than anything is just that sound..

Of you singing me, oh, just some ol' song
and pretending to sing it from your heart
and although it would be a cacophony of empty words
with nothing right and everything all wrong
I would sing it my head
when I'm laying wide-eyed in my bed
with only your empty words full of love to drift into my dreams..

Yeah, baby, your eyes, they still sparkle
and my mouth, oh, it waters
when I conceive your candy lips;
yeah, I know you love her,
but if you would just lay that aside and give me an answer,
will you please, baby, just do me one favor?

Would you sing me oh, just some ol' song
and pretend to sing it from your heart
and I know it would be a cacophony of empty words
with nothing right and everything all wrong
But I would sing it my head
when I'm laying wide-eyed in my bed
with only your empty words full of love to drift into my dreams..
