"forever" (live)

This is a live performance of a brand new original song I wrote a couple of weeks ago. I performed it last week, and I hope you enjoy it. Lyrics: he felt frayed at the caller/ he couldn't quite make out her words/ but he knew that he awed her/ though he found her parlor games absurd// he could not begin to tell her/ all of her well-worn jokes that he prized/ so he'd stammer and falter/ as he slipped into his thin disguise// refrain: he's a cypher/ she wrote in semaphore/ they were meant to be together/ ever after/ they fell to laughter/ who promised true love is forever// she did all of her homework/ doing research at the library/ though sources said, "he's a jerk"/ she was not cowed by his history// so she arranged a meeting of their minds/ and he agreed with a vague consent/ cause they could both read between the lines/ and shared the same ironic sentiment// refrain he was afraid when he called her/ though he could now make out at her words/ the distance could not be taller/ but they soared above the line of birds// refrain x2 ©2008 Cynth McGarvie-Bage
