Your face is the face of everyone In and out of my life Your smile distracts me cleverly From the tenor of your eyes Every tear rolling out is like a pearl That I buy but can't afford
And did you know these little wrinkles Right above your cheeks Remind me of the times I waited patiently
I'm here eating out of your hand I'm wearing your old flannel shirt I can live on the sparkle of your voice And your scrambled crumbled mouth
Every word falling out Is like a pearl soft and round That I buy but can't afford
