An Offer She Must Refuse
Why do you not want to sleep with me?
Is it that you simply won’t admit it?
Or do you fear being found out?
For lowering yourself so low
I thought you wanted to conquer all
And dance in every flame
I hoped to be on your bucket-list
For my well is full of water
And despite what I and they say
Not all is poison within me
Yes a chemical or two
But the rest is quite pure & free
And it is mostly clear
When clouds subside
In my bluer than blue
Sea and sky
Why not come sleep with me my love?
I promise nothing more than you might want
And nothing less than I can possibly afford
Wake and sleep and doze my special friend
Prove to me and you it is more than a dream
And show to both of us the real above our fantasies
Hear & see those birds that perch & fly
Come sleep with me my darling before our time to die
Before our burial chamber in our pyramid up high
Where light shines through to find us
And guide our spirits out the sacred way
Come sleep with me my darling & let it be today
Is it that you simply won’t admit it?
Or do you fear being found out?
For lowering yourself so low
I thought you wanted to conquer all
And dance in every flame
I hoped to be on your bucket-list
For my well is full of water
And despite what I and they say
Not all is poison within me
Yes a chemical or two
But the rest is quite pure & free
And it is mostly clear
When clouds subside
In my bluer than blue
Sea and sky
Why not come sleep with me my love?
I promise nothing more than you might want
And nothing less than I can possibly afford
Wake and sleep and doze my special friend
Prove to me and you it is more than a dream
And show to both of us the real above our fantasies
Hear & see those birds that perch & fly
Come sleep with me my darling before our time to die
Before our burial chamber in our pyramid up high
Where light shines through to find us
And guide our spirits out the sacred way
Come sleep with me my darling & let it be today
