'Lone on Saint Val's

I'm jonesin' for sumpan I ain't never had. 

A sweet taste of pastries I ain't never seen. 

Sugar that's sweeter than candy

and is 'least as pretty. 

Is a forest I ain't never been to

but been studyin' all my life.

I got its poison ivy itch 

and not a thing to scratch wif. 

Is all them stories yo mama tells ya

'bout when you's tiny. 

Not so sure I 'member it

much as I may have 'magined it

I know 'bout God havin' plans and all

but right now is His plan for me to be here,

'lone, on Saint Val's. 

Sometimes it don't help so much;

Knowin' there's a plan that ain't here yet.

Is all nice and fine when is for tomorrow,

but today?

Today just needs a hug. 

Someone to sit and hold and all; 

Shoulders to lean on;

heartbeats to rhythm back and fro. 

It's ok, I know it is. 

Daddy big and He got me.

But today,

today He got me for tomorrow. 

There a time for everything and today is a time for me a be 'lone.

Today when everybody it seems has got somebody, 

and all them words they keep saying 

about "later" and "just you wait" and all. . . 

Today I gonna sing a couple a sad songs,

sift a slow drink or two, 

and go dance wif the moon.

See the moon ain't never had nobody neither. 

Every time it get close to day is still night.

It only ever know twilight;

that promise for tomorrow

'cause it ain't here today;

the horizon peak you can't never climb.

Maybe some clouds'll kick up. 

Clouds don't know much for bein' 'lone

but they sure know to make it feel like they do.

Moon know what is like to dance near clouds it can't touch;

trying so hard but they grey and ain't never seen no moon;

moon just goes right through.

Maybe that spark of clouds'll stay and visit for a bit.

Maybe it rain and me and the moon can cry a spell together. 

Kick back on the porch, little drink, little song.

Just me, the moon, and tomorrow.
