So I have a passion for Sinatra in Vegas-- burnin' 'round midnight at the doomed Sands-- Death Valley in summertime, the blackland prairie from eight miles up on a clear day (reminding me I'm home), and the wind that blows across the Llano Estacado... And more, so much more-- Gustav Mahler and Gary Stewart, strong coffee and strong women, Bacall in a noir twilight waving that long goodbye... But I love you more and deeper than all of this. You are summation-- where the road led at the end of the day. So I say what we have was inevitable, babe. Don't you know that? Of course you do. And I do too. You're my kick-ass comrade in love, and we're bonded alright. There's no goin' back now-- only forward and out the other side into the sun and the light. The signs point just one way. So I say: Just go with it, lean on it-- and we can lean on each other like two vets tellin' war stories over cold ones behind the firehouse on a hot July day. Am I pushin' the envelope yet? I sure hope so! You should know I'm insatiable when it comes to this love thing. So I say to you-- my sweetest girl, my life, my world-- let's be insatiable together-- driven mad with madder love forever. |
