Poems

music & lyrics by Sherman Tabor

Will you ride the wind with me?

Will you drink coffee in the kitchen?

Will you dance the galaxies with me?

Will you squeeze my hand at the station?

I’ll write you in my poems

Get you drunk on what’s in my mind

Trace new constellations

From the glimmer in my eyes

I swear I’ll take your breath away

Falling into a giddy haze

Swear I’ll give you the best of me

Will it be enough when it’s just me?

Will you tempt the fates with me?

Will you walk the neighborhood at twilight

If I show you my wildest dreams

Will you stay for the morning quiet?

I’ll write you in my poems

Get you drunk on what’s in my mind

Trace new constellations

From the glimmer in my eye

I swear I’ll take your breath away

Falling into a giddy haze

Swear I’ll give you the best of me

Will it be enough…?

When the smoke clears and the light’s gone

When the music stops and the crowd’s gone home

When the rain falls and the storms come

When I’m lost in thought on the car ride home

When the magic dies and I can’t pretend

When the night was long and the week was shit

When I hold this hurt, when I feeling low

When I gave my all but I came up short?

Will it be enough?

Will I be enough…?

And I tried to play it cool

Oh, I tried to play it cool

But I’ve never fucking played it cool

Not one fucking day in my life
