about

c. Spring 1995. Written as a love song in Worcester, MA for a person I didn’t love and who didn’t love me. Second verse added while at Kickapoo State Park c. 2013

lyrics

I’ll sit with you tonight,
just to have you eyes closed and dreaming tight.
Just this once, just this once--- open them wide.
‘Cause i want you to call me over.
And I want to call you “mine”.
And your breath whispers sweetly into my neck
all those things we’re not afraid to try.

I’ll sit but I won’t pry.
I’ll accept your offering when you hold it high.
‘Cause my love is patient, and my love is kind---
when you’re ready: I’m open wide.

I want you to call me darling,
And rest your head on my side.

I want you to call me anything you’d like
As long as it’s your breath in my ear.
And those little fears drift away,
leaving, leaving only
leaving only what you want me to hear.
