I'll Meet You at the Checkout Counter
Once, thought a boy
He could tame the sea
Take away the salt
Taste sweet like it's meant to be
But the sea had a past
Of being hurt sometime before
He could fear a burden
But he whispered, easing the thaw
He said I promise thee
I will sing seemly, and read you poetry
So we can swim any way
I know you've heard it all before
But this means so much and more
I'll come back to you every day
Oh I thought that he was young
And knew he'd lose his way
But he held on to that promise
And he came back the following day
Every night we'd laugh, we danced, we cried
Underneath the jealous moon
But our days would not last many more
For his time was ending soon
So I promise him
That his bones and older skin
Would be young again
If he stayed with me
So we left that land of sand
We grew old hand in hand
In that shining sea
We became ghosts together
He could tame the sea
Take away the salt
Taste sweet like it's meant to be
But the sea had a past
Of being hurt sometime before
He could fear a burden
But he whispered, easing the thaw
He said I promise thee
I will sing seemly, and read you poetry
So we can swim any way
I know you've heard it all before
But this means so much and more
I'll come back to you every day
Oh I thought that he was young
And knew he'd lose his way
But he held on to that promise
And he came back the following day
Every night we'd laugh, we danced, we cried
Underneath the jealous moon
But our days would not last many more
For his time was ending soon
So I promise him
That his bones and older skin
Would be young again
If he stayed with me
So we left that land of sand
We grew old hand in hand
In that shining sea
We became ghosts together
