You're Sylvia Plath
|
As you drift from the bath.
|
I hand you a robe
|
And so it goes,
|
The moment'll pass.
|
|
You're Simone de Beauvoir
|
As you get out the car.
|
The way you read me,
|
No one can see me
|
Is you are.
|
|
And these photographs keep me alive.
|
|
Babe, here's your song.
|
Babe, it took too long
|
To find in your eyes
|
My best surprise.
|
|
You're Nina Simone
|
When you talk on the phone.
|
You sing to me
|
And I'm truly
|
No longer alone.
|
|
You're Mary Cassatt
|
When people tell you you're not.
|
You're like a child.
|
All the while
|
I need you a lot.
|
|
And these photographs keep me alive.
|
|
Babe, here's your song.
|
Babe, it took too long
|
To find in your eyes
|
My best surprise.
|
|
And I wanna know what you know
|
And I wanna go where you go
|
These things remind me of
|
These things remind me of
|
These things remind me of you.
|
|
Babe, here's your song.
|
Babe, it took too long
|
To find in your eyes
|
My best surprise.
