Will You Do Me a Kindness

I cook dinner with some friends

Tidy up the house, tie up loose ends

Now the sun has yet to set

A little staring at the ceiling

Pick a book I never read

And I get lonely for a bit

Comes in waves and then it split

Like a kiss

That missed my lips

Will you do me a kindness?

Point the sun

Right into my flesh

I want

Nothing left

Will you do me a kindness?

The way a fly comes so quick

Through a door that's swung open

Flung out chairs scatter the yard

While the wind does its whipping

From the porch a stranger's song

And I get lonely, I admit

Comes in waves and then it quit

Like a kiss

That missed my lips

And will you do me a kindness?

Point the sun

Right into my flesh

I want

Nothing left

I'll paint that hide cherry red

Leave no words to be said

Won't wear my heart on my sleeve

So I can slip out, will you sleep?

Will you sleep?

Will you sleep?

Will you sleep?

Will you sleep?

Will you sleep?

And will you do me a kindness?

Point the sun

Right into my flesh

I want

Nothing left
