Sapphires upon the sand,
Scattered like so many blue,
Wildflower blooms,
The delightful Daughters,
Of the sun and seafoam,
Blow perfumed kisses to my heart...
Yet, I am with a sadness,
When I recall your lovely ankles,
I watch the ships at sunset,
To wash with rose-water,
Your lovely ankles,
Upon a ship at sunset is,
My one and only,
wish.
Pearls of purple flame,
Fall from the chatelaine enchained,
As I exclaim,
‘I'm begging you baby
Can’t you just love me
Like you do in every lovely dream?’
O, I am with a sadness,
As I recall your lovely ankles
I smoke upon the balcony--
To blow a silver smoke ring,
Round your ankle,
Upon a balcony of crystal is,
My one and only,
Wish
Don't cry,
Don't cry at all, my love,
But if you do,
Cry into this test tube
For me...
And from your tears, I'll grow a girl,
Who looks like you, who moves like you,
Who understands,
Who understands me completely,
Who knows how to heal me,
When suddenly a phone begins to ring....
Yea, I am with a sadness,
When I recall your lovely ankles,
I daydream on the subway,
Ever and only of your lovely ankles
Dancing in the darkness,
Of my one and only,
Wish
