Triad

You want to know how it will be--
me and her, or you and me.
You both stand there, your long hair flowing,
Eyes alive, your minds still growing,
Saying to me: "What can we do now that we both love you?"
(I love you too.)
(I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three?)

You are afraid, embarrased too--
no one has ever said such a thing to you.
Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulder,
Face like ice, a little bit colder,
Saying to you: "You cannot do that it breaks all the rules
You learned in school"
(I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three?)

We love each other, it's plain to see.
There's just one answer that comes to me--
sister lovers, water brothers,
And, in time, maybe others...
So you see, what we can do is to try something new--
(If you're crazy too.)
(I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three?)
