My Kite
Piqued Jacks
You screamed my name
Exploding rays of pleasure around a sudden embrace
All I was able to say was "this is my kite"
Then a headache
Struggle of broken sobs against a painful shame
All I was able to say was "just keep my kite"
Above... not across
The ocean
The ocean
The ocean wide
The ocean
You don't say my name
Echoing alone through the canyons as far as the windy bay
All I was able to say was "don't let go of my kite"
'Cause of the strong drafts... across... across
The ocean, all
The ocean
The ocean wide
The ocean
I would have found the way to part
The tides and run before it's closed
From underwater I'd be darting back
Spreading brightness on the ocean wide...
