EVERYTHING REMINDS ME OF YOU


the clock's endless ticking rhyme
slowly counting off the time
but I am ok, I am fine
everything reminds me of you

the pattern on the colored wall
black on black does not appall
not to say you are dark at all
everything reminds me of you

the shirt that I am wearing now
the sweat trickling down my brow
and you will probably wonder how
everything reminds me of you

the nails on my fingers, long
hearing the words of our song
and even though you may think it wrong
everything reminds me of you

the chair that I am sitting in
every time I commit a sin
the beautiful hew of your skin
everything reminds me of you

the ice cream scoop on an ice cream cone
sitting up high atop your throne
yet you will never be alone
everything reminds me of you

you mean the world to me
and I will not let it be
until I have every part of thee
everything reminds me of you

I think about your lustrous eyes
and dream about your milky thighs
as I look into the heavenly skies
everything reminds me of you

a deep, dark abyss of tar
and then I wish upon a star
this love, I say, goes oh so far
this love I have for you

farther than the ends of time
this is no pantomime
I am ok, I am fine
because I have you

I am obsessed, this is true
I want to spend my life with you
and I know we can make it through
together, me and you
together, me and you
we will make it through
or at least die trying to
everything reminds me of you.
