or is it the way it
shakes off its dust
shimmy shimmy
swish sway sprinkle
glimmer twinkle
in our eyes
could it be
that in her you see me
sway glimmer glimmer
sashay glitter glitter
watch me set
like the sun
as I walk away
or are you the river
that pretends to be rain
splish splash
simmer simmer
are you falling
are we flowing
I cling to a drop
carry me away
shake it off
dusty dance
our mantras sound like moans
simmer down
shimmy on
we best let love alone
we best let love alone
we best let love alone
I glimmer for the sparkle
you shimmer for the shine
we shake it 'til we break it
our tears run red like wine
swish
sway
sparkle
glimmer
love
leaves
me
bitter
herbs
root
candy
truth
tart and tucked inside of you
it could be
that in her you see me
sway glimmer glimmer
sashay glitter glitter
watch me set
like the sun
as I walk away...
