lyrics
On my way to Doris Day
I’m so ripe for the taking
That all my shirts pile up with work
And I’m so bright for the breaking
And all you knew
And all you do
Will be forgotten
Or misconstrued
And all you should
And all you would
Will be mistaken
Misunderstood
Way down south slips through your mouth
And hits those lips I’m kissing
And all my stares catch you unawares
But you’re still keen on my listening
And all you know
And all the glows
Will shine behind you
Alone in yellow
And there you’ll be
Standing next to me
A fifth dimensional
Reality
Well, morning breaks as I slowly awake
And drain my eyes of their dreaming
The night was good, it is understood
But now I must be leaving
To be the one
Who loves his son
And feed the mother
Who carries a gun
And look to the sky
When I need to cry
And feel these words
When I close my eyes
“You’re a long way from home”
