The Lengths
Heart like leaves falling awkward on the ground,
daffodil smelling features,
Smile like Gene Kelly singing in the rain...
All these things,
And I can't complain,
But just a little bit
Since I'm going away.
In the rain,
Things that never really matter
Suddenly seem
Like bits of forever.
Well she eats strawberries in the rain,
Now how can that
Be wrong?
Not when I'm with her,
Oh no,
Not when I'm around.
Words are good.
Songs are good.
Rain is good.
By the soft light tonight
She'll be awake,
Quietly listening,
Still and sound
To the sounds of the songs
That speak about a
Goodbye.
Bittersweet it is,
Since now that I am home
Somewhere else
Is where I should have gone.
But most of all,
More than the rain,
I should have kissed
Your hand.
Goodnight sweet girl.
