Finger Dance

I think I love you
I'm so clumsy though
My big fingers
Caress you wrong
I can tell because you make that noise
when I'm doing it right
I love that sound
that purr
such warmth

I don't know how long we'll stay in tune
I'm very far from good at this
You understand though
It's all about practice
And love
and time
there's so much time

I pray that things don't get discordant
when we're ready for more than just the basics
my fingers are dancing on you
but it's only the two step
my chromatic caress is not quite perfect

we're a long way away from
"sweet child of mine"
hell pretty damn far from
"you were meant for me"
and damn that's simple

But I know we'll go far
I'm gonna wear you out
dance with you all night
till my fingers bleed

my brand new acoustic guitar
you're so beautiful
