Coral Bracelet - April March

I read about a runaway

Just saw on a pint of milk today

And then I poured myself a glass

And drank

It made me think of Florida

And miles and miles of oranges

Vacationers and rent-a-cars

With their skin burnt dark and hard

Like coral bracelets

It all recalls bits of you

Everything’s orange in hue

Like this bracelet you strapped into place

Before you went away

Coral bracelet in place of you

Coral to compliment blue

Skies above

I don’t see them anymore

Only coral evermore

I thought about a stowaway

Onboard a boat to faraway

And then I ran myself a bath

And got in

It made me think of daffodils

And some old-fashioned hospital

With nurses in their uniforms

All their toenails painted orange

Like coral bracelets

It all recalls bits of you

Everything’s orange in hue

Like this bracelet you strapped into place

Before you went away

Coral bracelet in place of you

Coral to compliment blue

Skies above

I don’t see them anymore

Only coral evermore

I heard about a holiday

Away o' up in Galloway

Where little lambs run wild

And princes

Wear coral bracelets

It all recalls bits of you

Everything’s orange in hue

Like this bracelet you strapped into place

Before you went away

Coral bracelet in place of you

Coral to compliment blue

Skies above

I don’t need them anymore

I don’t choose what to wish for

Only coral evermore
