The skies were grey. I drove home early.
The full moon was blue and pearly.
One hundred dead – no figures of fun.
On the tip of my tongue, in the back of my mind
Is a temporary wrong and a permanent sigh.
Don’t let it die.

Sneaky knees how I adore you
From dizzy downs to headier highs.
And I’m here, I’m waiting for you
No better way to tell you goodbye
I’ve got room on my face for a permanent smile.
I’ve got acres of space if you’ve time for a while
To see our love grow. Watch how love glows.
Don’t let it die.

Your air is clean. The sun is shining.
What would you give for heaven up there?
On every cloud platinum lining.
But don’t listen to me. I’m going nowhere.
There’s a word in my mouth. There’s an air in my lungs.
By the skin of my teeth, on the tip of my tongue.
Closer to me. Open up to me.
Don’t let it die.
