Before You Return To 07/26/93

Before you return to
that spot at your start
if the moon's cried too long
a lament on your part
after those tears wash your fac
to your heart
slap a smile
strap a star to your cart

if you should feel yourself
regressing too far
before you dip your sweet toes
in regrettable tar
laugh it up laugh it up har
dee har har
slap a smile
on your face strap a star

if your tide is rushing
faster than your moon
if you're tasting bitter lemon
on a dipped in honey spoon
if you faint instead of swoon
clap and croon
slow down at higher noon
