A Comet Over Bandemer

Ooh, ooh, ooh, loo-doo, doo
Mmm
Yeah-yeah-ay-ay-yeah

"Look out the window on the left," you said
As we pulled in next to the riverbed
Yeah, baby, don't ya
Lay before me

You kicked off your shoes
You pushed open the door
And lifted your eyes up to the sycamores
Uh, and baby, come a bit closer
A vision of you on a summer night
Adventurous and full of light
Your poetry dances in my head like a lullaby

You took off your jacket
As you laughed and said
"Don't be afraid to take this chance"
I looked up and saw just what you saw
A comet trickling past the stars

Uh
I said, "You doo, enna doo"
"A-sum uh-luh-duh-buh-duh-nuh nuh nuh you"
I said, "You do have me"
"Don't leave, my baby"
"Just set me free"
Okay

Yeah
Three years since some divine poison bled from the moon
And drenched your perfect form at the riverside, now
Here we sit, in your room, in Minnesota
I could never fathom it then, but
The only reason I see good in myself
Is 'cause you see good in me

And I
I couldn't remember just what you told me
In some ambiguous poem you wrote me, but
Your verses often make me cry
I crave your touch, though, I don't know why

You hold my hand and count to three
(One, two, three)
You leapt into the river without looking at me
And I call out through the warm black night
You said, "There's something living under this water"
"Or maybe something in the sky"

Like, mm-mm-mm
What do you wanna do?
Hm
A-dah
A-dih, a-bih-dih-dih-doo
A-doo-doo, doo doo, doo, doo-doo, doo doo
And
A-beh-deh, weh-wuh
Ba-duh, weh-duh-wuh, doh, doh, doh

I love my friends
And I miss New York
The tall gray buildings
And the corner stores
So, if you see me
Mmm, what for
Just know I love my friends
And I miss New Yor-
