On Short Wave

"On Short Wave"

I often said my problems with too much to say

Good things flow

The way to cover topics God's forgot about

High beams low

On short wave, on short wave

The only real memory I'll ever have

In unrealistic boyhoods, we made no mistakes

In what we chose

Through mosses green on slippery black rocks we would break

Far too close

To short wave, to short wave

I have survived the acid test to reach you

I'm never sightless to the outstretch of your arms

Wearing its disguise in exiting the idle flight controlling

All-encompassing cajoling

Where our wings fold over

You have your rainbow waiting

On short wave, on short wave

The only real memory I'll ever have
