Sweet Miriam - Lorraine Feather

Sweet Miriam - Lorraine Feather
Written on a New York sidewalk
One thousand feet of purple chalk
Is a madmans letter to the girl who split in zero zero
He never ever begs for money
Though the guys defacing public property
The five-oh let it go
So they too can read his tale of woe
Dear love of mine
Once again I see the sun shine
Does it still shine on you
Sweet Miriam
Ten years since we kissed
But as long as I believe you still exist
I can survive sweet Miriam
Though I loved and I lost and the cost was terrible
Almost unbearable
I feel no regret
People pass and I guess they see me
As being on the fringes of humanity
Cause I work till creeping night
To get this one thing right
My letter to you
Sweet Miriam
When Im done
Youre gonna come on home
One day I walked by and there were no words at all just drawings of the two of them in the park ice skating stuff like that Once he did kind of a flow chart showing how their affair fell apart But mostly its him talking to her
We had it we had it
We had that deep connection
Far beyond the extremes
Of physical affection
To think you could share it with someone else
I cant describe the hurt
If somehow you turned into a ray of light
Or a speck of dirt
Or even if you were plankton
Floating in the sea
Id know you
I would need you near me
Oh please oh please forgive my delirium
Sweet Miriam
Come on home
Today
Once more Ill wipe it all away
Sweet Miriam
Come on home
