S.j. Tucker To My Valentine
from far away I'm coveting your white violet skin and missing the fall of your hair worlds away I'm courting your everything and giving you all that i dare i long to stay but the road has my number still i don't have to miss you for long little did I know, all these new thoughts of home come Tuesday or Wednesday I'm gone never had such Valentines as these on my mind all the faces i've seen, the places i've been they don't stack up, even at the same time to you and your white violet skin
how can one claim perfect love, perfect trust and not know the wonders I know? dreams are all well and good, but mine live and breathe who knew? you came true, i suppose. if wishing on stars ever falls out of fashion we'll move to the Pleiades with no backward glance maybe between worlds and blackness I'll get up the nerve to finally ask you to dance there'll be space for you always in my harmony though i never knew this before. every note, "i love you," no matter the chord that's all any love song is for
the wild foxes danced when you laughed in your cradle the magpies fell silent when you learned to sing Imagine my luck, to be part of your fable where you hold my heart like the fruit in your hand the mockingbird sang when I lay in my cradle the pipers all played when I rose up to stand I'll walk all the roads 'til I'm no longer able and treasure your heart like the song in my hand.
just to say i love you in well-hidden ways that's all any song says, each note when it's played this one's too honest, but you're smiling, i pray. i am wide open, only a little afraid.
from far away I'm coveting your white violet skin and missing the fall of your hair with just a laugh you rearranged the world as it is spoke your heart, gave me leave to care i will ever long to stay but the road has my number still i won't have to miss you for long little did I know, all these new thoughts of home to tether me when I am gone never had such Valentines as these on my mind all the faces i've seen, the places i've been they'll never stack up, even at the same time to you and your white violet skin
