mmm nababana

I understand the fear
and feel it too
that sits at the table
between me and you
...

To tell you the truth
You scare me
And I wonder if
You'll spare me
...

I can't seem to shake you
Try as hard as I might
There's something still there
I don't want to fight
...

I know what you're looking for
But you won't find it out there
You'll catch nothing but shadows;
It exists, but that's not where
...

I guess I should have been expecting the rejection
Adding mine to your collection
I foolishly thought you might my gift weigh
...

I wish I knew

Which one of you was true
...

So many have seen this beauty and yet
To my eyes it did not at first appear
Time alone changed impression early set
Imperceptibly slow, year after year
...
