Abbreviations
Make it short
Let’s make it short and sequential.
The long version takes too long to tell
Step right to the Garden of Eden
Right to the bottom of the wishing well
I saw you in the limelight of laughter
Life’s too short for tarrying for a while
I heard your dulcet tones on the telephone line
Each word formed an everlasting smile
Slumber in a state of understanding
Your eyelashes flutter in the dawn
Rapid eye movement is clicking
Attached to your long and languorous yawn
Who knows where we’ll be tomorrow
We’ll follow the sun into the night
We’ll land in a world of high rollers
Roulette wheels and silver-spangled light
We’ll walk the talk in elevators.
And settle in between the satin sheets
One step closer to heaven
Far above receipts down in the streets
The world will take on an aura
Of speculation, mystery and love
Far out floating over the Swan River
Are daydreams radiating from above
Hurry, Curry, and clear blue waters.
Fresh sea air and islands in the sun
Sea horses galloping over the ocean
A stampede of white steeds on the run
I will hold the loose rein.
And watch another day slowly disappear.
New wonders are there for tomorrow.
I wonder if you’re ready to appear.
