I Wish It Were June Poem by Mark Heathcote

I've got mercury tears in my eyes
They're so heavy they won't leave their womb
Darling, I wish it were June, and I could cry
All these buildings are grey
They reflect a February moon

Darling, I wish the clocks would stop toking
And we could walk together again on our honeymoon
Oh, but I've got mercury tears in my eyes
And they're so heavy they won't leave their womb to cry
And you, my darling, have cried yourself dry.

Darling, I wish it were June, and I could cry
The air is so heavy I swear it's winter in June
Darling, if you can find forgiveness
Come back soon before all the maples turn amber
And the horse chestnuts fall prickly everywhere.
