Nu Bruises

When you came my paint was still wet Plastering horsehair in relief Pulling bristles off the wall You're like mosquitoes in the fall You signed your name, you used your teeth Grass stained knees and sand in my shoes Sore like I'd recently been rode I've been to parties at your place Where you explained the steeplechase Smooth hedges and a secret code Nu bruises aren't all bruises Nu bruises aren't all bruises Nu bruises aren't all bruises Nu bruises aren't all bruises Resting by the channel rapids Delivery room into the shore I saw you floating down this way Dove in and kicking all the way Is nearly drowning not a sport? Nu bruises aren't all bruises Nu bruises aren't all bruises Nu bruises aren't all bruises Nu bruises aren't all bruises
