I'm Here

Your face is the face of everyone In and out of my life Your smile distracts me cleverly From the tenor of your eyes Every tear rolling out is like a pearl That I buy but can't afford And did you know these little wrinkles Right above your cheeks Remind me of the times I waited patiently I'm here eating out of your hand I'm wearing your old flannel shirt I can live on the sparkle of your voice And your scrambled crumbled mouth Every word falling out Is like a pearl soft and round That I buy but can't afford
