Signals To Seattle (Child Of God) Poem by Nicholas Neato

Hey girl
I read what you wrote
If I could take your pain away
I'd put it in a little boat
Sail it down a stream
Where only faith could float
And when I saw it sink
I'd send my love in a note

So instead, I'm sending
Signals to Seattle
Spent all night to get it right
It's been another sleepless battle

But if I could take your tears
I'd store them in a vase
I'd grow you the prettiest flower
To put a smile on your face

And if words were medication
I'd write every poem for you
I'd sing you every song
Sing them in the perfect tune
I'd sing to you all summer long
I'd start just before June
Take the shine of the burning sun
To wash away your darkened gloom

Then and only then
Would you never again be alone
If I could get you in love
And if I could get you stoned
We could watch the world far apart
Watch all the people that will never know
Exchanging breaths of life and a beating heart
Just to watch you glow

You'll be an angel
Keep your head up
You child of God
You'll be an angel
