Under You


Along the edges, colors blur at seem familiar. 
While you read your magazine, 
I was counting all the markers. 
And California seemed to draw you like a siren 
From a postcard, or a letter, in a frame of film melting. 

Under you, I hear your breath move in, out slowly. 
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me. 

A Hollywood flat where we'd laugh about our fortunes 
When we held jobs in this bar down at 3rd and San Vincente. 
And Ramen Noodles at 4:30 in the morning, 
When we barely could survive, I was never more alive. 

Under you, I feel your blood flowing out slowly. 
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me 

You move in slow degrees 
A sudden memory 
You're a Leonard Cohen song 
But every now and then i'd swear 
I see you standing on a sidewalk, in a 
restaurant, from a taxi cab passing. 

Under you I feel you moving in, out slowly 
Under you let go completely feeling you take over me 
Take over me
