You and I songs #2

"One Day I Slowly Floated Away" By Eisley

One day I slowly floated away
One day I slowly floated away
All the war horses wore rubber bands
to hide their hooves from sinking sand
The commander in charge was hoping that
The destiny was not to die

Wake up in the morning I shall
Wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie

Hard to foresee the future
Our bodies were growing thin
Glimpsing the peeling paint of
The nurse's ivory chain
You've got a lot of nerve coming here
Your eyes are beating rhythms way
Faster than the speeding bullet that
took the life of your radio

Wake up in the morning I shall
Wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie

And in the corner chair
soft and soap-scented
my darling cries apologies
We foresee the mercy
That's been shown my young limbs
Will not go unthanked or unseen

Wake up in the morning I shall
Wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie

You and I songs #1

too much work is not a good enough excuse to not enjoy anything. Such as two different kinds of "You and I" songs. Good songs...

For You and I by Keren Ann

Somewhere late at night
the merman called the breeze
found and out of sight
and simply watched at ease
The sea was cold as ice
and lonely as it seems
The wind came to my eyes
and woke me from a dream

And its over now for you and I
For you and I
Its over now for you and I
for you and I

Out there in the sand
I waited for the dawn
to bring me thoughts from other lands
and then you came along

But its over now for you and I
for you and I
Its over now for you and I
for you and I

Somewhere late at night
the merman called the breeze
found an out of sight
and simply watched at ease

karaoke monsters

never
never
never move one store down from a mysterious looking liquor store with shades drawn and interesting little political manifestos taped inside of the windows
for even though it once appeared
that your apartment was next to a quiet little shoe repair shop
that shop is tiny
and does not stretch all the way to the back of the building
the bar does stretch
all the way back
the bar has a back room
the bar is not a liquor store
the back room is next to your apartment
the karaoke monsters enjoy singing
and they probably will not shut up until 3 a.m.

arrrrgh!!!!
