In My Way, Yes

Taking my time, working on lines
Fingers in clay every day
Head in the clouds, moving my mouth
Spreading the grout, holding it down

Do you think it makes a difference?
I say yes, in my life, yes
Cuddling up declarations of love
Squeeze and a hug, kiss and a rub

Faces opposed, eyelids closed
Nuzzling nose like proverbial Eskimos
Don't’cha feel silly
I say no, with my love, no

I never ever thought
I'd have a life like this
I never dreamed I'd be alive
I nevеr considered

Such as thesе surroundings
Effectually pulling it off
Watching the cops go by
Seeing a falcon fly

Reading a history book
Wetting a tiny hook
Driving fast all night
Bursting into song at first light

Sharing breakfast from one plate
Holding hands over loved ones’ graves
Do you think you deserve it?
I say yes, in my way, yes
