Someday Lady

Someday Lady                        November 11, 2001

It was love at first sight.

Love with all its might,

And yet, I'm in such massive debt.

Two souls met

In this small fish bowl,

And I can't seem to grow

Enough to satisfy you.

Someday, lady -

Someday, lady -

I'll afford us to fly away

Beneath wings.

Sometimes, lady,

I think of you and say,

"I will never deserve you now or any day."

I'm a penniless shifter,

An avant garde drifter,

A student, poor to ridiculous means.

I'm a schmuck in a t-shirt with jeans.

I'm hopelessly devoted to you.

Maybe someday, my lady, someday,

Things will work out my way.

You're all the motivation I need.

My love for you grows like a weed.

Wait for me, lady,

Until I get out of school.

Then, we'll go steady,

And won't that be cool?

Someday, lady, someday,

I'll have bought our wings and we'll fly away.

Someday, lady,

O' someday, lady...

I'll buy our wings

And we'll fly far, far away.
