I wanna be real
Something you can sink your teeth into
I want you to feel
All it is that I feel for you
I’m firelight for your seeing hands
Rich perfume for your tastebuds

Your eyes are always
Dark and deep
But we have promises to keep
And miles to go before we sleep

Are you drunk
With the wine of God?
Did your ship wreck
As the tempest tossed you?

You can write your name on the water
It’ll drift on out to sea
You can treat me like a daughter
You can write your name on me

We touched a funeral, drank a parade
We stole a wedding, melted and prayed
It always hovers just around the bend
We’re never quite there, but then again
Once a stranger now more than a friend-
It all makes me pretty tired
I suppose that you’re still wired
Your heart’s on mine
Beating double time
But we have promises to keep
|and miles to go before we sleep

And miles to go...
