St. Marks - Carolyn Wonderland

It’s past check out at the St Mark’s

and I don’t want to leave the room

After bathing in the street lamps

filtered by blinds, smoke and you

A scent that can’t be store bought,

sweet sweat from lovers' pores, how it pours

If I stand still a minute, can I pretend it’s one day more?

When all that’s melted here between us, once was mine and now is yours

CH:

I want to walk through Strawberry Fields with you forever

I can Imagine all the candles on the flowers

If Love and Peace were so easily reached

The world would roll the way that we do — for hours and hours

I know both of us are hungry

but we don’t want for food to eat

Just a none too subtle pretext

for another chance to meet

I hold the door wide open

and pray you’ll come inside

My open heart on my sleeve, I have found no desire left to hide

With my ticket to this dance I’m going to take my chance with you on this ride

(CH)
