Underestimate

UNDERESTIMATE (© 2012 Al Kryszak)

You threw my voice once
I wasn’t even on your lap
I chased it for January
It was all I could do.

I underestimate
My need for you
I over-complicate
Your face so true

And all of the leaves
And snow overtaken
Rivers you keep close
Like a perfect day in the sun.

You dropped the past once
On the road we were on
Fell out of your pocket
Far from our home

You threw my voice once
Came right outta your mouth
Like a vaudeville love song
From the deep old South
I took it right back
As a trade gone bad
It sounded weird now

I underestimate
My need for you
I over-complicate
Your face so true
And all of the leaves
And snow overtaken
Rivers you keep close
Like a perfect day in the sun.

With Christmas candles
Half a crystal ball
I underestimate
I underestimate
