Sloom

The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't noticeThe seaweed that wrapped its arms around you

The carpet on my cheek feels like the fall grassAnd I run through the tall trees with your hands chasing me

The books that I keep by my bags are full of your storiesThat I drew up from a little dream of mine, a little nightmare of yours

To be asked to take this plunge, to forgive and forgetAnd be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man

So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well

The cat's silhouette, as big as a monster,In this concrete jungle, with street lights hanging their heads

So make all your last demands for I will forsake youAnd I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last

So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as wellSo love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as wellSo love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as wellSo love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well

I met a man today and he smiled back at meNow there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet,That keep me on my feet.
