Don’t tell me your name

I don’t want a label to store you by

In that place in my brain

That haven of succubi

I don’t want you to write down your number

I don’t want to call you up

Make another blunder

I don’t want you to trip me up.

Not now when I’m riding high

Not now when I’m in the sky

Not now, I don’t want to lie

Not now, not now, not now

When I’m happy

Just give me your hand

I don’t want a relationship

This is uncharted land

This is our mystery trip

I’ll just use my, use my eyes

Photo engraven images

Before the light dies

I will absorb the vestiges

Of your beautiful face

Of your unspoken grace

Of the filigree trace

Of your presence

‘Cause I’m happy

Don’t tell me the time

All of those minutes are millstones

Just spin me your lines

All of your markers and milestones

Oh yes and don’t just say ‘goodbye’

That is always a lonely word

A word with tears in its eyes

The saddest sound I ever heard

Like a wave on a beach

Like a life out of reach

Like someone gasping for speech

And the moment

Right now I’m happy
