Oranges

But I keep coming back
To see your face
And taste the way
That oranges taste

And I've been blessed
With so much grace
Sometimes I'm crushed
Beneath the weight

And I'm disgraced
And I'm impure
And I'm imperfect
And a whore

And I am so much more
Than words could ever cure

And I'm a lure
Hook line and sinker
My baby's wet
Just like these fingers

I taste your breath
The feeling lingers
Long after presence left
And I'm bereft

My feet and hand are tied
As you throw me in the river
I'm a giver
I'm a lover
I'm a fighter
Died inside her

A thousand times inside my dreams
And I'm a light, shoots like a beam
And when she comes around the mountain
We'll be busting out the seams
And then the band begins to play
And nothings ever what it seems
A tambourine
And then I scream
Do you know what I really mean?
A sacred being?
I'm just a fiend
I'm just an animal with teeth
There must be some way out of here
Said the Joker to the Thief

And say my name just one more time
And I will give you one more rhyme
That you can take with you forever
To remind you of the time

When I was young, my father said
That you won't really have the blues
Until you've had a love
That you have had to lose

But I keep coming back
To see your face
And taste the way
That oranges taste

And I've been blessed
With so much grace
Sometimes I'm crushed
Beneath the weight

In Hollywood
The kids looks good
And my Guitar's
Norwegian Wood

And I will treat you like I should
And I will write it in a book
And I will learn to finds the words
To show you that I understood

But I keep coming back
To see your face
And taste the way
That oranges taste

And I've been blessed
With so much grace
Sometimes I'm crushed
Beneath the weight
