Sloom

The sea said goodbye to the shore

so the sun wouldn't notice

the sea**** that wrapped

it's arms around you.

The carpet on my cheek

feels like a forest

and I run though the tall trees

with your hand chasing me.

The books that I keep by my bed

are full of your stories

that I drew up from a little dream of mine

a little nightmare of yours.

To be asked to take this plunge

to forgive and forget

and be the better man

to be a better man, to be a better man.

So love me mother

and love me father

and love my sister as well

The cat's silhouette,

as big as a monster,

in this concrete jungle,

with street lights hanging their heads.

So make all your last demands

for I will forsake you

and I'll meet your eyes

for the very first time, for the very last.

So love me mother

and love me father

and love my sister as well

So love me mother

and love me father

and love my brother as well

So love me mother

and love me father

and love my sister as well

So love me mother

and love me father

and love my brother as well

I met a man today

and he smiled back at me,

now there are thoughts like these

that keep me on my feet,

that keep me on my feet.
