Swirling

Swirling takes up all my time
Makes me know that I'm
Above you
Swirling, curling up in smoke
It started as a joke, but
Love you
Moss
Suspended on a grave
And growing in a cave
Where I can carve your name
Love you
Swirling occupies my life
And if I had a wife, she'd
Be you
Swirling takes up all my time
And if that's such a crime, why
Love you?
Moss suspended on a stone
And down the telephone
To where I call your name
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
