What goes through your mind

What goes through your mind What goes through your mind, what image do you find, when you say I love you baby Are you straddling my chest, what’s the place you love best, were ya thinkin’ ‘bout that maybe Memories play too big a part, tired of things keeping us apart, so much further from our destinations Pounding head cannot explain, leads to short fuses and I complain, our dreams are not evil machinations The plotting to tear out your past, you bite your tongue it leaves you aghast, choking on the terrible taste But the revolutions around the big old sun, time lost well it can’t be undone, our memories lay in waste And what goes through your mind, keeps getting harder to find, when you say I love you baby Backwards thinking as futures languish, kill love buds ‘n you’ll anguish, falling before they bloom maybe Like our great big Christmas cactus, just telling you what the facts is, it’s still alive but baby when it’s in bloom A lot like you straddling my chest, it’s the thing we both love the best, the magic in the air lights up the room So tell me mama what goes through your mind Tim Windisch 12/27/2023
