I could cry me a river
Hold my hand and count to three
Breathe in your wintry smugness
Delight in the eggnog and marshmallow hugs
I could drink myself to merriment or madness
Lament your name and whisper it into the wind
Lick and savour each drop of cheer
Ring in the bells of shallow love
Hymns of tomorrow fogging my mind
She is slightly touched in the head
A smile so warm to melt your sorrows
Arms so strong to witness your vigour
Fearless, fearful, carelessly careful
I am free tonight
Dancing in my socks to her cavalier tune
Take me by surprise by the sudden daylight
Here I find heartsease
Here I find melancholic repose
Lost and found in my own reverie
I catch myself as I fall into place.
