He Said She Said Hue and Cry

"What's too far", he said, "Where you are", she said
There are worlds between us still
"Do you share?", he said, "Do you care?", she said
These negotiations kill

"I imagine all over you", he said
"I taste strawberries in your mouth"
"In my dreams exploring you", she said
"I go east, west, north and south"

When they're wrapped together, sweet geometry
Moving to the rhythm of the words they speak
Hear the silence spread upon the kitchen floor
He said, she said, no more

"Everyday", he said, "Anywhere", she said
These are dangerous lives we lead
"I'll be there", he said, "On a prayer", she said
More than that, no one would need

"All my library days at an end", he said
"Gonna do what I read about
All the matinées, all the films and plays"
Then she smiled, "I'll do without"

When they're wrapped together, sweet geometry
Moving to the rhythm of the words they speak
Hear the silence spread upon the kitchen floor
He said, she said, no more
He said, she said, no more
He said, she said, no more
