Pete Francis If I May
Dog's nails tap the kitchen floor
Eddies of laughter swirl through the barred door
I'm writing in the dark and cannot see the letters
I'm writing in the dark and cannot see the letters
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
Outside is a garden of buildings
Inside shes stares at herself in the mirror
Mesmerized by the light in her blue-green eyes
She smokes and sings along with the radio
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
Dog's teeth click
Headlights slide down the walls
While sleep makes me a deal I cannot refuse
I think of your absence, your sharp jaw
The way your collarbone surfaces under your skin
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
