spin me a record
(spin it around)
and I'll sing along
(ah ah ah)
about how I love you
(love you true)
you know that I do.
(write it down)
write me that story
(write it true)
your biggest scoop yet:
about how I miss you
although that's not news to anyone.
so send me a letter
express overnight
to tell me you miss me
how we are so right.
and I'll call you late
(ah ah ah)
three time zones, state to state
to tell you I miss you
you know I still do.
but now I don't belong to anyone.
so spin me that record
(spin it around)
and I'll sing that song
(about how)
about how I love you
(love you true)
you know I still do.
(write it down)
write me that story
(write it true)
your biggest scoop yet:
about how I miss you.
although that's not news to anyone.
and now I don't belong with anyone.

drive to chicago
move to new york.
sing all the songs we know and buy
over-priced ice-cream cones.
with you, you by my side.
we'll go to atlanta.
austin, at best.
take that big gamble, the chance to move
everything out west.
i hear, santa fe's nice,
and the kids in seattle, yeah they're alright.
but where are we going now?
and what are we gonna do?
if there's just one thing i've learned to
keep you along for the ride.
so please stay, stay by my side.

things i planted

snap peas in the garden
that i planted for you.
well, it's nearly september, little seedlings,
they never even bloomed.
autumn will soon be here, i fear
my heart will explode.
i love you dear, clearly
much more than you will ever know.
though you never knew much of anything at all.
wipe the dirt from your hands
and the sweat from your brow
for, soon i'll be leaving here, grieving for what i've done.
i love you dear, clearly, but now
all of our seeds have been sewn
and scattered to
scattered to the wind.

rhymes with dictionary
02:27
|
|||
|
sing to me, my little baritone canary
and i will read the oxford-english dictionary
and i will quote to you all the twenty-seven definitions of
the word love.
run and we will catch the bainbridge island ferry
play a long and rousing game of pictionary
in thirty seconds or fewer i will draw for you
all that is our love.
go on and sing for me
i will play for you
all the things that are true
about our love.
so we will go out drinking i'll give you all my cherries
and if we're real bad we'll say our hail marys
to grant us little grace
while we are in this place
with only our love.
i know sometimes it's hard i know sometimes it's scary,
but if you give me all your love, hon,
you never need be weary.
i'll keep you so well fed, warm all in my bed
with all of my love.
