Perfumed Letter

Every day's a perfumed letter from a skilled hand
A supple neck longing to be kissed
Every day's awash with wishes waiting to be wished
But a pounding heart is stronger than a fist
Every day is wide open, forgiving and a-hoping
For hatching plans or building dams or peaceful pipe smoking

But I have let too much time slip through my hands
I have spent too much time watching the time go by

Every day's an olive branch, another chance
For anyone to stake a claim or for a criminal to clear their name
Every day is an enchantress, a beautiful chanteuse
She'll hypnotise with fire in eyes
and she'll sing for you in truth and lies

But I have let too much time slip through my hands
I have spent too much time watching the time go by

Every day's a crystal clear pool, dive right in we're all fools
But I just stand here, staring at my shaking image on the ripples yeah
