The dreamers

She has fallen asleep in the living room, watching TV
I feel guilty should have joined her, but soap opera, do my head in
Now, I am going to sit near her on the sofa and when she wakes up
She will think I have been sitting there all the time
She will be happy and hold my hands
I have promised her tomorrow, we are going for a drive along the coast
Stop for coffee and a cake, and watch the young swimmers frolicking
She will tell me again at the time she was a stewardess and danced
The tango in Buenos Aires, not to be outdone, I will tell a story from
The time when I was young, omitting the women thing-
She had a great time while I spent much time reading books and
Dreaming in the ship’s cabin, I had no the courage to live the life
Unless I was sozzled and my phobia of the outdoors ran my life, about
The jolly man who knew tomorrow, the fear would return.
