Forgive me my ties
Connections and loose ends
This is for the eyes
Eyes buried in my neck
With a promise of the future
Of the uncertain, I play it so sure
Our drifting thing
Will someday land
And I could take you home
The lights would, would twitch and blow
And you could finally see
The us that we're supposed to be
When you picture me away
It's Alfie Elkins '66
But you didn't see my face
When all the kids dancing brought down that place
I was more Alvy Singer
Each time you put me on the train
I'm less and less sure you'll do it again
Don't do it again
'Cause we could raise our flag
First hem the tattered edge
Close our eyes and be
In love at seventeen
Close, close our eyes and be
Close, close our eyes and be, be
Close, close our eyes and be
In love, in love at seventeen
