Steeped In Stars
White moon-
I set my boats free in your bay.
I wound them up and they all sailed away.
From here to the Milky Way.
I don't know all the answers,
but when I stood
to walk away
someone put poison
into my cup of love.
So, I headed out to
where the stars burned brighter,
when I hit the road...
I lost my cigarette lighter.
Steeped in stars
like a warm cup of tea.
I want to swim in your
Sea of Tranquility.
So, I boarded the last boat
and I am making my way--
to navigate the stars,
to taste the Milky Way.
I'll be rising when the
sun decides to set.
I asked her to remember me,
because, her?
I'll never forget!
