Alabaster

Ancient craters of the moon Their list of names we chose to use Does not apply Insufficient and untrue For all should know it was you Who placed it in an empty sky Lunar craters I'm convinced Are there to authenticate Your fingerprints It's true I wanna take you there Anyplace, anywhere Will do But here Where I kissed your face And lay my own Upon your hands Of alabaster stone Silver salt Falling light Frozen joy In black and white I wanna take you there I wanna take you where Years to come Were unaware Of promises Hanging by a thread Of lines and tubes Another white suit A machine to breathe Or execute Give me a sign Give me a squeeze A little more time Before the whole world drops down to its knees I wanna leave with you Anyplace, anywhere Will do But here Where I kissed your face And lay my own Upon your hands Of alabaster stone I've been in-and-out of this room I've been climbing up its roof I've been howling at the moon I shot that boy who cried wolf A shattering rain of falling stars Like questions dying to be asked- Is crashing on this parting road Left or right Where should I go? I don't know Then the room turned cold And my youth was sold By a robe all torn A hand of bone A voice that spoke 'It's time to go' You know it's hard sometimes Not to imagine what it would have been like To have closed my eyes To have stayed right here Where I kissed your hands And lay my own Upon your face Of alabaster stone But I left that place Tried to hold my own As the moon shone above me Like an alabaster stone
