One street light flickers in the distance But we remain in the dark Bodies one bench apart I pull you closer to me Ask the moon to sing a song So we could celebrate this love You smell like home Coffee mixed with vodka A hint of heavy cigarettes The smell of despair I run my fingers along the lines of your face Perhaps I could create a masterpiece out of you Sell it And buy you the moon You place your hand on the curve of my hip Begin to move Create a melody out of our bodies A sweet tune to shush the world to sleep And we remain awake Stumbling on each other’s hearts The street light turn off at 2 am You step into the dark And the hand on my hip turns out to be mine Was I imagining you? Or were you the one imagining me? The moon begins to sing for me And the sky moves closer I look up to see you dancing with the stars I reach a hand towards you Ask you to pull me closer But the sun rises too early And the night ends too soon Takes you with it Leaves me on the corner of the street Still dancing
