Calico

Lend a shoulder to your lover Sinking slow in the August heat I am older, half my mother Look how this time just carries me Could you hold her, could you love her As you did in humidity? Since the winter, you've gone colder Purple hands and purple feet It's comical and bright How your head's on right ways She's calico inside With her head on sideways Undress my body before I go Soon baby's thighs go indigo Hold your index at my waistline Where you were once such a careful love We are only half our mothers Look how this time just ruins us It's comical and bright How your head's on right ways She's calico inside With her head on sideways Calendar lover, you tire so quick If you'd say it out loud, well, I could loosen my fist But I'm only a sweetheart when you see it fit I'll say it You're comical and bright With your head on right ways I'm calico inside With my head on sideways
