These Photographs

You're Sylvia Plath

As you drift from the bath

I hand you a robe

And so it goes

The moment'll pass

You're Simone de Beauvoir

As you get out the car

The way you read me

No one can see me

Is who you are

And these photographs keep me alive

Babe, here's your song

Babe, it took too long

To find in your eyes

My best surprise

You're Nina Simone

When you talk on the phone

You sing to me

And I'm truly

No longer alone

You're Mary Cassatt

When people tell you you're not

You're like a child

All the while

I need you a lot

And these photographs keep me alive

Babe, here's your song

Babe, it took too long

To find in your eyes

My best surprise

And I wanna know what you know

And I wanna go where you go

These things remind me of

These things remind me of

These things remind me of you

Babe, here's your song

Babe, it took too long

To find in your eyes

My best surprise
