|
Love is like a white moth sipping tears from sleeping birds |
|
An asteroid in flames, tumbling to earth |
|
Raindrops sliding down the stems of orange leaves |
|
A flicker of a strange light far out across the sea |
|
Love is like a black fly buzzing in the sun |
|
Circling and landing, dancing like it's drunk |
|
All around the red apples scattered on the lawn |
|
Fallen in the fury of last night's thunderstorm |
|
Love is like the hole torn right through the roof |
|
When that old sugar pine came crashing down last night |
|
And above the broken beams and the shattered ceiling tiles |
|
You can see starlight for the very first time |
