into the alley
lit up for christmas still
i was 14 the first time
now older and wiser
on a couch in conversation
double vodka in a pint glass
through all the faces
yours still shines
walk into the sunrise
barely there breeze just blowing strands
and it feels so good to be back
i am not myself when you are gone
we'll sit together
tiny tables
candles blown out
martini after purple martini
locked inside
the secret against the tiles
warm and breathing
through laughter and real smiles
you keep disappearing
in dim light you do another line
i'm lying in your arms as you read on and on
in the morning we'll fuck again
i'll leave you twisted in the sheets
no worries, just love me
i promise i won't interfere
it's never been this warm in december
and it feels so good to be back
i am not myself when you are gone
