The Queen

"You probably don't remember But I made it a point to anyway" As long as I can I think you might remember A tree in Seven Valleys with golden string A promise we made for every day And we're taking names, and not taking traits And mind you You are the bulbs hanging from the ceiling on a sinewy string And mind you You're beyond me And there's something to be said for being spoken for A certain solidarity And you handle me with such a delicate demeanor You know what I'll think It's about who you love It's about who you tell And my voice carries more than it should but not now It's not the thought that counts, it's the pulling through Not my mind that wanders It's your heart that keeps me and mind you Mind you I can hold my breath forever Mind you, mind you, I can hold And mind you, mind you, mind you I can hold my breath forever For as long as I can Mind you, mind you, mind you For as long as I can And my dirty hair in your lap will be the feathers in the grass But for now your sugar the sap in my selfish glass You want to be planted beneath the leaves Bloom and blow with the breeze But not yet, but not now "We can always be found"
