Suez

Met you in the spring
And you wore your sandals
I bought you this ring
That you gave to a hobo

Sent you on a plane
To visit the grave
Of your sweet mother, raging

And I watched you go
There, in the snow
Into the sunlight fading

It haunts me
That every love I’ve crossed
I’ve burnt to some degree
I’ve been waiting
My whole life
Take that part of me

You know I long
To become your lover
And if you want
I could stay for the summer

You know I long
To become your lover
And if you want
I would love you better

If we must let go
So let me know
If I have wronged you, baby

With all due respect
I’ve paid my debt
You pay the slumlord, baby
