A Minute Of Your Time

You said I always knew you best
But every breath was second-guessed
The movies and the midnight rides
The mixed up world inside

I kept a list of the things you said
Another of what I heard instead
That’s the one I memorized, as I
I searched for the rare and wise

chorus
The clover I could never find was just
A minute of your time
A minute when you felt the same as I

Necklaces and silver shoes
Purple shadows, cherry rouge
Any glance that I could steal
Never did quite reveal

The nature of you steady plan
No hesitations in you hands
I drank your potion without fear
Until I finally disappeared
