in winter..
.. it's like drinking black coffee trying to stay warm and keeping the cold out. the rain falls, the wind blows. some of you even get to see snow.in autumn..
.. it's a backyard in the suburbs, and hundreds leaves covering the green grass.in summer..
.. it's a night-time thing. out on the balcony (porch) with some beers and your friends.in spring..
.. it's the hope for a brighter day.
THEN I HELD MY BREATH
My Very Own Mary-Ellen
Hey supermarket girl, where are you going?
I’ve flown halfway ‘round the world and think I’ve already fallen
Those glasses suit you more than you could know
And sure your hair is short but it makes you glow and glow …
Why should I settle for second?
I want my very own Mary-Ellen
My very own Mary-Ellen
The girl from the west she doesn’t know I’m alive
And the girl from the north I think that she would survive without
me
Some people say they’re intelligent when they’re not
But I look at you and I know you’re smart because you know just what
you’ve got
Why should I settle for second?
I want my very own Mary-Ellen
My very own Mary-Ellen
If I could bottle what you’ve got I’d take a lifetime
I’d breath you in night after night
If I could bottle what you’ve got I’d take a lifetime
And die happy just knowing you were mine
You meet girls from all over in my line of work
And when you leave, some leave bruises and some they just hurt
But you’ll be forever in my heart and mind
No matter what the distance and no matter what the time
Why should I settle for second?
I want my very own Mary-Ellen
My very own Mary-Ellen
