He told me that I knew just what to laugh at[00:00:00]
And I wanted to but I just couldn't ask if he would take it back[00:00:05]
So I could know for certain[00:00:09]
So on the bench I watched his left hand crossing[00:00:14]
While doubling entendres with the voicings[00:00:18]
He said "oh darling, you're charming, please don't find it alarming[00:00:22]
If I pull this stop out to free up a hand for heavy petting"[00:00:27]
Now there there[00:00:32]
I'm a friendly man[00:00:34]
I joke about sex because it's funny when you're frightened[00:00:36]
So silently I sat and turned the pages[00:00:48]
Recalculating our respective ages[00:00:52]
Over my shoulder he muttered if I get any older[00:00:56]
You can hack my wrists off with your choice of objects, now I'm kidding![00:01:01]
Don't be scared[00:01:06]
I'm a friendly man[00:01:08]
I joke about death because its funny when you're frightened[00:01:10]
This is as far as I could get he jabbed a needle in my neck[00:01:22]
Erasing all the evidence but there were matchsticks in my pants[00:01:26]
And if a rock should hit my head and I remember what he did[00:01:31]
You'll be there very first to know[00:01:35]
Maybe I'll find out why this damn thing wont stop bleeding[00:01:37]
He told me that I showed a great potential[00:01:50]
That given I turned heads and pages fame would be a piece of cake but[00:01:54]
Practice was essential[00:01:59]
So like a stupid child I believed it[00:02:03]
And golly who would ever had agreed if[00:02:07]
I had been Schubert or Mozart[00:02:11]
Devoted to the fine art of perfecting absolutely everything inconsequential[00:02:14]
Don't be sad I'll come back again[00:02:21]
I joke about trash cause it takes class to be enlightened[00:02:25]
So several decades have gone by[00:02:36]
I am still sitting by his side[00:02:39]
I turn the pages faithfully[00:02:41]
He turns his head and smiles at me[00:02:44]
And with a wink he said "I doubt[00:02:45]
We would be anywhere without[00:02:48]
Your gift for keeping truth and consequence from meeting"[00:02:50]
