Lyrics for An Allusion to Italy
All of my hope for you And now I ask of you Who could possibly refuse A matchbook proposal as such? Is it in his kiss? No, that's not the way And you're not listening To a word I say I've been on a "neutral" kick I've been nice and all over it Then I realize It's dead, and over Get out of it If you don't soon enough Then I realize I haven't seen anyone Hiding out is what we're doing Pleasantly bored Simmer away And I apologize Remember the laughter And the innocence? As will I, of course Stalling It's better in the long run Perhaps Well I've decided That anyone Who would ever even Consider asking me that Be able to scoop me up In his fingertips In a heartbeat or two Or maybe three Four, to be safe And I will run to Ohio And I become Texas summer months And I will paint you blue, to mark the sky To simmer away
