Meet me down by ladies night
That beacon in the sky
Where pretty girls get twirled around
Until they recognize
That loves about being turned and dipped
And moving your feet in time
I’d love to be your rhythm king
And move your body with mine
But what about that boy your with
With whiskers on his chin
Man that kid can’t dance for shit
So what do you see in him
Is it that he doesn’t collapse
In the way that i do
Or is it his distracted charm
That pierces your mouth like a hook
Slowly but surely i’m losing sight
Of what it is that i do
A fading horizon peeling away
Like a grade school child with glue
Of all of the people i’ve loved and missed
I hope i never have to miss you
For more than just a couple of days
A week at the most maybe two
Eight months since i have known what i need
The beauty and calm she exudes when she sleeps
The sweet expectation that morning can bring
After a night when your hips twist and swing
