Till I lay my head in your lap

Till I lay my head in your lap Too many days began without as much as a chance When you’re away there’s music but I won’t dance No rhythm to my movements, can’t seem to find a flow My feet try to start moving but the rest of me won’t go I hear the beat and it’s a familiar melody that I love to sing All about long summer nights and the magic that they bring But I don’t utter a line, don’t move a muscle, not even a toe tap No, I can’t quite do a happy dance, till I lay my head in your lap So many times, I thought the journey was finally over and complete Cause she came home and lit my fire, but sadly she had to retreat Promises, hugs, long kisses goodbye, followed by teardrops and a smile Just stay strong, don’t you go giving up, you know it’s not your style Soon she’ll return, a promise in her words, love flows through her lips Softly on my chest, scent of perfume, my neck can still feel her fingertips She’s on her way, that music reaches a crescendo, and my feet begin to tap But I won’t dance, won’t catch me on the floor, till I lay my head in your lap Tim Windisch 02/04/2023
