She said, meet me in the park before dark
I've got something to tell ya
About ya after midnight
Where the wild things roam
I said, safari's not my scene
I'm not keen
But then again I could be wrong
Soon it was raining cats and dogs
We were prancing in the fog of it
All spinning out of control
We shared every last drop As live ammunition rung out from the clouds
Above full of rhythm not lead Soaked
feet slipped in the glades and the
grooves Underneath the deluge till all we could
do was stop And be swept down river in a current of
exuberance We found around the bend before the plunge
She turned to me and said,
to love someone To love,
to love someone
To love,
to love someone Is the easiest thing in the world
At the end of the longest day I'm exhausted,
eyelids droopy
Inner company draped anxiously So I said,
sweetie,
I think you fell ass
backward into my heart Now my better nature is forward you're about
to see And from the plummeting of my chest
She knew what happens yet
Lethargy kept me in bed though she staged
a Harlem shake yet again And made me stay up somewhere before our
dreams convalesced
She sang me the song of her people
Not to birds but to mammals After the lights were out
And from the anticipation of what's to come She knew what happens yet
To love someone To love, to love someone
To love,
to love someone The deepest thing in the world
To want unspoiled To lust, to take your best
To trust,
to want unspoiled Is the easiest thing in the world
To love someone To lust, to take your best
To trust,
to love someone The deepest thing in the world
To love someone Someone
So when I take my first breath in this verdant life
Oh,
yeah,
will there be someone by my side?
