Pools

We float before the sea at dusk In heavy mist, in glitter dust I smile before I want to I smile because you want to We sip the wind through lips of lust And out it comes, warm wisps of love I smile because I want to I smile because you want to Put the flowers in your hair Wrap your tendrils 'round my chest I smile because I want to I am your boy Shake my little soul for you now, toy And I settle up into a world of noise I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy With a battery of guilt on which to poise Down by the shore, a funny foal Who bit my wings and ate 'em whole You left before I come to You left before I come to We took the hills into the trees I hit my hand and bit the leaves You left before I come through You left before I Shake my little soul for you now, toy And I settle up into a world of noise I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy With a battery of guilt on which to poise Shanks of slate fall to the beach Wrapped in life in ultra-green Pools teem with tiny feet And whorls of tired anemones You left before I got to you You left before I got to you You left before I You left before I Shook the flowers from your hair Run to me and kiss my hand I'm dead before I, I'm dead before I Shake my little soul for you now, toy And I settle up into a world of noise I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy With a battery of guilt on which to poise Shake my little soul for you now, toy And I settle up into a world of noise I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy With a battery of guilt on which to poise I smile because I want to I smile because I want to I smile because I want to I smile because I want to I smile because I want to I smile because I want to I smile because I want to I smile because I want to
