She was the corporal at arms of the fighting guitars
Nobody wins in these weaponless wars
When she told me her age, I was amazed
I knew she had lived through a shipwreck of days
She’s got hair of chocolate cake to wrap around your fingers
And she smells like cigarettes and breaking waves and solitude that lingers
She lived right next to the sea in a forest of weeds
Surrounded by magical music machines
When she asked me to stay, I was dismayed
I knew she had already given her heart away
Words cannot describe the sun reflecting off her shoulder
I was melting like a block of ice reclining on a desert boulder
She’s got eyes like cloudy skies portending endless rainfall
And the way the story ends is kind of typical and kind of painful
I got up and flew away with all the lonely sailboats
Some guitars are out of tune and others just refuse to play the sweet note
