Window

Sunlight drips through the blinds like honey That old jazz tune hums from next door You left your sweater on the barstool again And the city winks through the cafe window Bass line walking down the avenue Saxophone laughing in the air Let’s stay tangled in this lazy afternoon Your smile tastes like peach iced tea We’re humming melodies out of tune But darling that’s our symphony Neighbors argue over Sunday crossword clues Piano keys sticky with lemonade You sketch constellations in coffee rings While the breeze plays with your hair Trumpet sneaks in through the fire escape Sidewalk dancers steal the show Let’s stay tangled in this lazy afternoon Your smile tastes like peach iced tea We’re humming melodies out of tune But darling that’s our symphony Streetlights blink awake one by one As the moon borrows your gold Let’s stay tangled in this lazy afternoon Your smile tastes like peach iced tea We’re humming melodies out of tune But darling that’s our symphony
