Met a girl in America

Her voice was dark, cool

And I'd overhear her say funny things



And oh she was smart in every sense like smell

She performed brilliantly with art

One time she did tell me something

She said reaching back to sit

She said I'm going to smoke like a fiend

Now I say these words all the time without thinking or smoking.

 

Then later we started to talk

That was the best ever

That was truly something else altogether

When we started talking I never could sleep

Once I saw her walking with a cup of coffee in my alley

Rain was on the forecast

Swim I said yes she said I'd go swimming

This is all that matters

Lets allow ourselves this more.
