a little something im working on

I unravel before you like a spool of thread
Used to construct something bigger, something better
A sweater, for those cool nights when the crimson leaves pack up and flee
And I wonder will you do the same when you get to close too me

It all started so lovely, messages on my machine
Walks to the market for plum tomatoes, parsley and aubergine
We’d stuff ourselves with spaghetti and get all fat with white wine
We’d listen to records from the thirties and kiss away the time

Promise me you’ll be a soldier and fight for your liberties
Stand strong by your decisions, I’ll be the causality
Don’t be afraid, you look courageous in your uniform
I just can’t be a war-bride waiting for you to come back home

Life adapts to the worst, it evolves for the best
I'm nostalgic for the beginnings but I''ll lay them to rest
If itll help us move forward, onward with our
