Coral Bracelet
I read about a runaway
Just saw on a pint of milk today
And then I poured myself a glass
And drank
It made me think of Florida
And miles and miles of oranges
Vacationers and rent-a-cars
With their skin burnt dark and hard
Like coral bracelets
It all recalls bits of you
Everything's orange in hue
Like this bracelet you strapped into place
Before you went away
Coral bracelet in place of you
Coral to compliment blue
Skies above
I don't see them anymore
Only coral evermore
I thought about a stowaway
Onboard a boat to faraway
And then I ran myself a bath
And got in
It made me think of daffodils
And some old-fashioned hospital
With nurses in their uniforms
All their toenails painted orange
Like coral bracelets
It all recalls bits of you
Everything's orange in hue
Like this bracelet you strapped into place
Before you went away
Coral bracelet in place of you
Coral to compliment blue
Skies above
I don't see them anymore
Only coral evermore
I heard about a holiday
Away o' up in Galloway
Where little lambs run wild
And princes
Wear coral bracelets
It all recalls bits of you
Everything's orange in hue
Like this bracelet you strapped into place
Before you went away
Coral bracelet in place of you
Coral to compliment blue
Skies above
I don't need them anymore
I don't choose what to wish for
Only coral evermore
