lyrics

LONG ENOUGH

Under her hat, her eyes flatter all my dreams.
Red as her lips, the hat offers nothing more.
If I just look at her long enough,
I'll remember what I once was looking for.

Chasing a ball, a boy runs across the sand.
Walking along, a man also crooks his knee.
If I just look at them long enough,
I'll remember what they wanted to tell me.

So little time, remarked the librarian.
So many books, he said, making up my head.
If I just look at him long enough,
I'll remember what I someday must have read.

Two painted boys playing flute and a guitar.
Though they're just paint, I can hear the melody.
If I just look at them long enough,
I'll remember what they wanted to tell me.
