my fingernails keep breakin
and i can’t stop scratching at my skin
i can see the moon is setting, the street lights will soon stop flickering
there’s a straight line from your chin that points directly to me
your eyes are closed your breathing’s slow
but somehow you still pull me in
i do and i don’t
want to be with you
amelia
in the easy silence and the morning dew.
the beauty of the moon flower blooms just at night
and each bud only one time
amelia
i do and i don’t
when you wake this will only be more difficult to decide
cause your voice sounds like flowers growing
and i wanna sit in the garden
i’ve never had someone quite like you, you’re kind and comfortable and warm
don’t say goodbye baby not this time, let’s give it one more rendezvous
i do and i don’t
want to stay with you
amelia
in the easy silence and the morning dew
amelia
i know that i said i wouldn’t slow you down
but can we take it one day at a time?
amelia
i do and i don’t
