O Love (Blood & Study)

Were the sheets being laid with floral designs
On the bed where I smoked at the mirror?
And the colonnade, that so impressed my mind
I can see it still; standing austere

Was a boy unmade at the back of your mind
As we watched from an aging pier?
Forgive me, if I strayed to make you mine
It was not my finest hour, my Dear

O Love, look where you've been
And I'm still wearing the shape that I'm in
No, Love, it's all I think of
And I wrote this for you, but I can't say enough

Was an oath made in blood by a seaside motel
Where we talked over cornets and beer?
And after, I'd brood while you picked up blue shells
And followed the ship's fading sheer

O Love, look how you've won
It's half-past two and I'm nearly undone
No, Love, it's all I think of
Dreaming of you in an October sun

O Love, and I have been scarred
An image of you on a dollar postcard
No, Babe, and all I have saved
Some sketches you drew in my Mother's backyard
