FI left the east side for a west coast beauty
A gFirl who burned my thoughts like kisses
AmShe was down by street decree
She sFwore she'd pull my best years oFut of me
FFat painted lips on a live wire beauty
A taFngerine girl with tambourine eyes
AmHer face was my favourite magazine
Her bFody was my favourite book to rFead
FThey say that all poFets must have an unrequited loFve
As all lovFers must have thought provoking feFars
But holdig on to yFou means letting go of pFain
Means letting go of teFars
Means letting go of rFain
Means letting go of wFhat's Amnot rFeal
Holding on to yFou
I left the rough side for a seaside baby
A chamomile smile that pouts on cue
For every moment I breathe her sigh
Her bosom contains my sweet alibi
In an emotional mist she breathes in fog
And breathes it out as garden flowers
Why me of all the tough talking boys
I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise
They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you
Means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Holding on to you
Means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you
They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you
means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you
I left the east coast for a west coast beauty
a woman who wet my thoughts like kisses
she was down down by street decree
she swore she'd pull my best years out of me
fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas
Goodbye Picasso hello Dolly/Dali
The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod
She's my new religion she's all I got
They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
as all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you
means letting go of tears
means letting go of rain
means letting sorrows heal
It means letting go of pain
Enjoy, Klaus Gregaard
