Oh, this song I've been waiting to write And I would sing you loud If only for a little while And I've been waiting all my life My throat stoned with kindling and the morning paper ♪ And all the frame I've been waiting to fill How it will cradle you and Hold you there for a little while Undiluted, you lay still An instrument skin, God I've missed you out in California My fine companion Have you seen what I have done? To the bed once made Well I hope you stay ♪ I watched the woman watch the sun And how she held it close She held it now for a little while When her eyes, they came undone They looked down to see me standing out in guilt and swallow My fine companion Have you seen what I have done To the bed once made Well I hope you stay Well I hope I stay
