Once In A Great While

We could bail out either side, or take a rest

Find me in the corner with your nervous laugh

In my hesitation don't you pass

I might be the only fool who cares

But don't you feel like you're under this wave (of staggering charm?)

One was set to carry you, and never came

I was laying hungry but surprised to be

But I sure love the way that you lingered here (/linger dear?)

Once in a great while I could be (so bright? /right)

And more than I can say it just feels awfully right

(And borrowing every angle 'till it's centered in 'I'?)

Don't be so bashful

It's me in the shadows

And I'm laying, groaning

Until you find a way back to me

Until you find a way to soothe me

Well tell me, it's starlight

It's stars in your eyes

Ooh...
