Hi My Love

Sofia and the Antoinettes

 

 

 

 

She’s getting all dressed up

It’s their second date

Hopeful romantic, draped in pearls and lace

Kisses in the taxi, cause he wouldn’t wait

Called her a silk screen and watched her play

 

Amen

She’s telling herself lies

Amen

In the back of the car making herself cry

 

Hi my love it’s been a year since we last spoke

How’s it all going

I miss dancing on the earth before I noticed it spinning

I’ve been thinking about that night in July

Down by the river

She was beautiful, til you made her a sinner

 

She’s getting all dressed up to break her own heart

Could you make her feel better and forget who you are

You never saw her light a candle in the dark

And burnt down the theatre, you couldn’t play your part

 

Amen

She was trying to save him

Amen

Now she needs saving

 

Hi my love it’s been a year since we last spoke

How’s it all going

I miss dancing on the earth before I noticed it spinning

I’ve been thinking about that night in July

Down by the river

She was beautiful til you made her a sinner

 

All the love you couldn’t give her

Put her in a pretty picture

Spend a lifetime missing her

 

Hi my love it’s been a year since we last spoke

How’s it all going

How’s your brother, and the old house

Did you quit smoking?

God, I really hope you find someone half as devoted

Live your life as a poem, I’ll live mine as a poet
