Deb Talan Saturn's Light
Saturn's light
throws a ring around the moon
& I said my prayers too soon
No one was listening
There's a hush on the street
I can feel my own heart beat
& my lonesome breathing
but my soul's little bird can still sing
I want good love
I want it so bad
It's a seed stuck in my throat
It's a weed around my hope
it makes me choke
& i can only breathe outside
or in tall buildings with high ceilings
& open doors
Isn't there someone out there I am here for?
Isn't there someone out there I am here for?
It takes a will
just to make it through the night
when to wait & when to fight
& swing & missing
When we meet,
will his eyes recall me?
I look for his face
everywhere in the dark
& i carry my torch of bright stars
Because I want good love
I want it so bad
It's a seed stuck in my throat
It's a weed around my hope
it makes me choke
& i can only breathe outside
or in tall buildings with high ceilings & open doors
Isn't there someone out there I am here for?
Isn't there someone out there I am here for?
Couples kiss across counters and tables
I smile & then look at the wall
But some people hold hands
& they don't pay attention,
like their love
is somebody else's inventions
Our heads, they hold back
But our hearts run to strangers
& they say, "Look at me, look at me, look at me."
I want good love
I want it so bad
It's a seed stuck in my throat
It's a weed around my hope
it makes me choke
& i can only breathe outside
or in tall buildings with high ceilings & open doors
Isn't there someone out there I am here for?
Isn't there someone out there I am here for?
