You talk to me and I fall asleep

Your words a lulling tide

You scream at me and I come awake

Your words a drum roll

You wisper to me and I go a little crazy

Your words a soft caress

You say to me, "I love you."

These words are meaningless, jibbering, to my mind.

In my mind you talk to me;

Your words a lulling tide, that makes me sleep.

In my mind you scream at me;

Your words a drumroll, that makes me wake.

In my mind you whisper to me,

Your words a soft caress,

That makes me go a little crazy.

In my mind you sob to me,

Your words a river that makes me realize;

That in my mind you talk, scream, whisper, sob,

Your words always, "I Love You."
