You Will Do For Now

I will lead you if you will follow me

To graveled gray roads, Shakespearean scenes

If only you knew the love of degree

You'd slow that beating heart down

You will do for now

The December dark will keep me in the room

Soft ashtray eyes will beg to be found

I'm keeping these walls from speaking too soon

Count your love one in the crowd

You will do for now

I swear these lies won't stay long

The halos and hubris are gone

Shadow your right with my wrong

Once these sheets are gone

I will lead you if you will follow me

To graveled gray roads, cigarette scenes

Regret won't keep the sun from the sea

Soon I'll be leaving this town

You will do for now
