Innermost Thoughts - The Happy Family

When we met

You told me

You were going to Australia

Under the avenues of lime trees

And I remember I asked you for your hand in marriage

On the rain-washed side streets

Where courteous hoteliers offered us pavement seats

There I gave you my innermost thoughts

My innermost thoughts

All the while

We were courting

Hopes and illusions such as knowing each other

And thinking that we could live happily

Hand in hand, heart to heart

Talking like entries in diaries

Our darkest reactions lit up with the passion

Of innermost thoughts

Innermost thoughts

Hand in hand, heart to heart
