Clara

Give me a moment to say how I feel

ready or not this time I feel like I'm willing to be candid with you

you are pretty good with the clever remark

but whether or not you mean every word

that you say I really don't know

we don't ever get that far

I just come and then I go like seasons and

I think I love you clara

I love you clara

I am old enough to want to know you better

Stairway down to an uptown train

A university gig that I don't know very much about

Sing with the choir take a taxi home

On the way back to for green but

Way of the Manhattan bridge

You said you were sick of it

Garbage on the sidewalks and the sirens all day long

I love you clara

I love you clara

I am old enough to want to know you better

It seems like you've got a lot on your plate

I can't be someone I'm not

I am just a boy to distract you from the stresses and the strains

of an urban life

you took me in without question

and I need you more than you need me clara

I love you clara

I am old enough to want to know you better
