Pretty One

from Less Yackin', More Snackin' by ROQUE

lyrics

Pretty One: Oh pretty one, are you tangible? Do you breathe, or are you magic? Are you swift and shallow; do appearances betray you? Holding you, I trace your flesh, supple muscle, bones of willow, hair of winter sunsets blown by kisses from within you. Pretty one, have you no idea, or do you try to leave behind you all the broken hearts you used as stones to build your future. Closer now, I taste your neck. In my mouth, you tense your tendons. Every sound within you passes through me as a closed door. Pretty one, do your eyes delight to see the dawn of new beginnings? Does the saffron sunset make you laugh or make you weep? Now I feel the life within you, touching me and warming me. Are you swift and shallow, or does stillness make you deep? Chorus: I will try to love you just the best I can, and I will try to pledge you heart and mind and hand. Oh pretty one, will you dance with me, spinning, turning, falling to me. Do you find me pleasant, or does confidence betray you? Closer now, I feel your sweat on your hands behind my neck. Salty, you are tasty as you shine with bitter dew. Pretty one, will you never lie; will I fear the truth instead? What is left when hope is gone and emptiness surrounds me? Close my eyes, I probe inside, gently sifting piles of memory. All is open, but there are no signs to point the way. Pretty one, you are beautiful, I have glimpsed your crystal caverns. I have felt your gentle eyes like light upon my shadows. Closest yet, I see your heart, rainbows fill it up with colors. Rosy, you are happy, let us hope it's always with you. Chorus.
