simple & lovely

down the dried up walls
cut down long ago
but now abandoned
drip, drip, drip
down it falls like beautiful rain
i would pick it up
a canvas for my inspiration
it is, it is what i need it to be
constantly, yes, i let it bleed
paint the wooden boards
red like your pretty lips
drip, drip, drip
splatters over the clean
and innocent monster
just trying to find love
the monster just wants love
drip, drip, drip
down fall the tears
full of anguish and lost hope
i wish i could hold you
without looking like a fool
create a vast and open
lake for me to float on
drip, drip, drip
the storm gives it life
life to let live and let grow
asking for love to grow
for the beautiful and
for the very sick
i am a little pebble
trying to crawl away to
become my own pebble
past the fields of grass
through the holes that have
been dug so wide
like beautiful rain
red like your pretty lips
love for the beautiful monster
drip, drip, drip
down into the depths
and deepest desires
of all my soul and
all my wonder
wow, what joys i find
hidden away deep below
it breaks my heart
and eats me up whole
you were in my dream again
wanting to carry me
on your weary back
holding out your silver lighter
to let my cigarette burn
out the door and
away from the music
we would go
into the simple sounds
of the rain as it falls
drip, drip, drip...
drip, drip, drip
