Hello Sadness

A wishbone hangs between your breasts

I hope you haven't pulled it yet

And if this little finger doesn't have the strength

Then I'm scared that this bird's back bone breaks

It's only hope that springs eternal

And that's the reason why

This dripping from my broken heart

Is never running dry

I wear a ring of your lipstick

Round the knuckle of my 4th digit

It reminds me what our bodies sowed

It will do until we are betrothed

It's only hope that springs eternal

And that's the reason why

This dripping from my broken heart

Is never running dry, never running dry

The space between your naval

And your waistband was the ice

Where two fingers pirouette

But now these hang nails they just slice

It's only hope that springs eternal

And that's the reason why

This dripping from my broken heart

Is never running dry, never running dry

Your tongue the tide, your lips the shore

I am the jetsam overboard, goodbye courage

I christen all the ships that sailed

On your little kisses' saliva trails, goodbye courage

Hello sadness again

Little kisses come to pass

Then goodbye courage, hello sadness

It's only hope that springs eternal

And that's the reason why

This dripping from my broken heart

Is never running dry

It's only hope that springs eternal

And that's the reason why

My broken heart is never running dry

Now that those four fingers gone

You leave me only with my thumb

That constantly is pointing down

The emperor bears teeth not frown

It's only hope that springs eternal

And that's the reason why

This dripping from my broken heart

Is never running dry, never running dry

Never running dry
