Not You

Walk on thin ice, most would break through.
I would. Not you.
Turn your cheek twice, fully knowing they’d bruise you.
Your heart open wide – only way you knew to.
Bound to sea / Bear the tide, in a jigger flotilla.
Bound to me / By the gods I’ll be damned, I’ll be swallowed
‘Tween the rocks is a hard / On the ocean I’ve no
place to be. Without you.
I watched you suffer, I watched you cry
salty water.
The oath is hollow when the vow’s
not true.
By all rights, you could’ve cut me loose.
It was good of you not to.
Bound to sea / Bear the tide, in a jigger flotilla
Bound to me / By the gods I’ll be damned, I’ll be swallowed
‘Tween the rocks is a hard / On the ocean I’ve no
place to be. Without you.
You didn’t close me out. Why didn’t you throw me out?
I wish to God you’d run me through,
or shown me what I am to do these things...
but that’s not you.
So I live by your grace, and the light on my face is the
wages of sin.
And when again I begin, it’ll be
without you.
Bound to sea / Bear the tide, in a jigger flotilla
Bound to me / By the gods I’ll be damned, I’ll be swallowed
‘Tween the rocks is a hard / On the ocean I’ve no
place to be. Without you.

C’était le Thursdee qu’elle m’a demandé
“Toujours you dress this shabby way
Comme ça monsieur?
And yet, pourquoi monsieur
Que je t’aime all the same?”
On Jeudi she declined his love.
By Friday, though, she’d had enough
Of standing off
For although she’d scoff
She let him let her let him have her way
When La Lune illuminait nos yeux
On devient tout déchaîné
Then by moonly light alone we nightly sigh
And quietly moan the night away
Captivé. Fasciné. Enthrall-é surtout
Entrance-é. Spellbind-é. Hypnotizé by you
Tu me dazzle, tu me wow
Tu fuzzy up my thoughts somehow
Against all better jugement, again
Je have to have you now
When la lune illuminait nos yeux
Est toujours enchanté
Then by moonly light alone we nightly sigh
And quietly moan the night away
Arrivé le Saturdee, the world is all topsee-turvee
Alas, “La vie en roses”? Non non!
Pour moi to love you only leaves me desolé
Can’t live with you, non plus without
J’adore your smile yet my heart doubts
We’ll last the week
Mais pour one more night, don’t speak
When La Lune illuminait nos yeux
On est discombobulé
Then by moonly light alone we nightly sigh
And quietly moan the night away
Le Dimanche, la demise
‘Neath sodden, sulky, Sunday skies
Le weekend, on dit “Au revoir”
Et la semaine… quotidian
Le Mondee et la Tuesday
Le Mercredi old news day
To gaze, encore, once more into your eyes
When La Lune illuminait nos yeux
On est bien mesmerizé
Then by moonly light alone we nightly sigh
And quietly moan the night away
