lyrics

Anxious, my palms beaded with sweat,
Oh, the tunings of love songs creaked in my head,
Forget the theatrics, kiss her lips,
The sun beat down on her fingertips.

Chorus: My daughter! The pain in her eyes,
My son! The clouds in the sky,
My heart! Thunders amidst,
A thousand wishes of a thousand kissed.

Nervous my words, twisted like sin,
Their energies burned my guts within,
So I mimicked her movements, and copied her sighs,
But I guess those tears came of my own design…

My heart spilled like anointing oil,
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry”
And then we were okay. (Yay!)
