Lyudmila

When we were kids

I found a fossil on the beach

We brought it home

My bag smelled like the sea

Though not a soul had seen it live

Either way we grew up and forgot

I’m glad, glad you waited

I had the chance to grow

But still, either way

I could just lay, lay you down

Like I did all those times before

It gathered up on the road

Like spring snow

I thought I’d improve

not talk slow

Can’t be sure that it’s done

We never knew who won or if it mattered

Cos even when I fall asleep

You still wake me up

From all the way over there

Please keep warm, It’ll be cold again soon

I’m sure you’ll be fine
