I Will Keep Vigil For You

I will keep vigil for you. I will keep vigil for you, sweetie Censoring you like a thermometer I will make you warm to the thirty-seven I will grow you taller with every touch. I will make you yawn repeatedly in pretence Do not worry my darling l shall play along And when you stretch like a tired woman I will not probe the feeling, l must understand. I will wrap you like a treasured wedding gift And when you gasp like a blacksmith's bellows I will not worry at all, knowing fully all is well Feel free to scream dearie, I'm not an intruder
