lyrics
Tremendous, she sat on a rug
Above a whisper earned a shrug
To have to wait, the way we did
Announced to all that we had loved
Encroached and fearless is the shroud
That kept us rapt, enwrapped in cloud
Tumescent pause and sheathing claws
Like we had tried, and then, out loud
Appropriate, beleaguered I stood
Around the fire of nothing good
Proposed a gift of never be
As if echo, as if I would
Remain, remain a fallow day
Remain a sole unfettered way
Remain a wish, ungranted kept
Remain a weep felt overlain
Yes, say yes, and times by three
Yes, say yes, and times by three
Yes, say yes, and times by three
Away, away the pestered want
Capricious as has been my wont
Remember things within their time
And package them so they won’t haunt
Tremendously, she sat on a rug
Above, a whisper, earned a shrug
