"You Are Still A Ghost To Me"
You used to grin like dolphins do
Call out to me with a playful flick of your arm
So we twirled about your kitchen
Lost in the sound waves
Hands and hipbones hugging
The bass lines of our hearts
Almost kissing in synchrony.
Later we played that song
You on your guitar and me, softly singing:
It was your hello that kept me hanging on every word
And your goodbye that keeps me listening for your voice around each corner. . . .
The notes skating out on into forever
Until your D string broke.
We restrung your guitar
But the harmony was forever
a little more discordant.
You used to grin like dolphins do
Call out to me with a playful flick of your arm
So we twirled about your kitchen
Lost in the sound waves
Hands and hipbones hugging
The bass lines of our hearts
Almost kissing in synchrony.
Later we played that song
You on your guitar and me, softly singing:
It was your hello that kept me hanging on every word
And your goodbye that keeps me listening for your voice around each corner. . . .
The notes skating out on into forever
Until your D string broke.
We restrung your guitar
But the harmony was forever
a little more discordant.
