my sweet louise, please take me back I've cut my hair short, learned not to attack. this house it creaks still, and I fixed the floor I find your books sometimes but I don't read anymore maybe when the feeling is getting old, maybe when our love turns a darker shade of gold then louise, oh you'll see what've you've been doing to me in this nocturne in blue and gold my sweet louise, the day is done. we tossed the evening, we spent the sun. our fingers held on fears and faults I taste your words they're still packed with salt maybe when the feeling is getting old, maybe when our love turns a darker shade of gold then louise, oh you'll see what've you've been doing to me in this nocturne in blue and gold

a slow fade in on captain black his weathered lips, they break and crack one foot in and one foot back, the closeup ends on captain black the camera pans to ms. elizabeth who finds herself in this predicament she's two bucks shy and a heart so sick the camera pans from ms. elizabeth the next scene cuts to admiral grey he cries all night and he works all day the drift wood cracks and he begs her to stay the credits role on admiral grey

Ambition 02:51
I know she's got ambition, but it's filtered through a screen I know she's got suspicion, but it sure ain't of me I know in the end when it's been coming in so clean, she'll say "darling, sweet darling, won't you come home with me?" the evening shift was ending and I saw her walking home I said "darling won't come back, or at least take my coat?" she looked me in the eye and said "when all is said and done, darling, sweet darling, I'll have you begging for the sun." maybe we come back maybe when we sing all the somber songs of may maybe we come back then maybe, I'll have my way I know she's got suspicion, but this ambition is killing me I know her true condition is she's afraid of being free with all this contradiction and all this make believe, darling, sweet darling, why did you do this all to me?

logic and coffee were all that she taught me the original copy, unnamed and unatoned asleep with the lights on my pictures, still hand-drawn I'll carve out until she's gone golden youth and colors fade she comes to me now the view from the 4th floor her lovely black contour but what is it all for if I can't runaway impossible silence unstoppable progress an unlikely witness emerald eyes and crescent moon she comes to me now
5.
bury my bones by the hood canal I'm in love with the sound I'm addicted to the smell wrap them up to keep the warm, beneath the evergreens with my broken sword dawn, dark, rain could not disguise the thickness of my bitter lies when I said I was well aware of the gray that crept into your hair but oh my love, oh my sweet I'll need you if you need me bury my bones by the hood canal I'm in love with your sounds, I'm addicted to your smells I lived a lie by the shimmering sea now lay me down and bury me
