sway
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 1.28.99 & 1.31.99

hips shake/ with your mouth closed like a wound/ that could open soon/ and i stand here/ transfixed/ afraid// you can/ smile all you want to/ but you won't/ give me a hand// clicking away the sway with a/ question posed from me to you/ and maybe the right man lies/ just around the corner/ falling to the floor for you/ i can't count/ the ways/ you've taken from me/ dressed in black/ i'll be dancing/ or won't you see?/ // / paired like/ dolls in a set/ can i/ play this song/ for you dears// but i/ should have asked/cause i know/ i can't expect/ you to read my mind/ anymore// falling awake with the sway to/ a song for me and you/ and maybe the right man is/ just over the horizon/ falling to the ground for you/ but i can't count/ the ways/ you've taken from me/ dressed in black/ you'll be dancing/ or won't i see?/ // /
