Cauliflower

You don’t know this but
I used to wait for you
To take the elevator
So I could ride with you

Now I’m overdressed
In a suit and tie
Lingering at your door
Trying to make you smile
Cause I love it when you smile

And a pumpkin seed for my sister
Little sprouting bean; grow forever

Rain is calling me saying “come outside”
Hide under my hair like a camouflage
But you found me didn’t you?

So you can cry to me
I won’t say anything
You know you can cry to me

I never told you about
How I always knew
From the magazines
How I felt for you

So hold an open door
Make a stranger smile
Oh well at least for
For a little while

And a cauliflower
For our growing old
Do a luau dance
And I know you know

Lore’s staring out
At the lettering
What’s she seeing there
In that window pane?
Oh tell me

You can cry for me
I won’t say anything
I won’t tell anybody

You said that you felt
As if you shaved your head
And I don’t think you know about
How much it meant
And I know where time goes
To the flowers on the side
Of the road where the car came
And took his young life
So I’m saying Maria
Lets give it a try
Because you’ll lose everything eventually
On the day that you die
And i’ll lose everything eventually
On the day that i die
So why wonder?

Oh you don’t it but
Sometimes I wait for you
Inside that elevator
I love to ride with you
