She had eyes the colour of mint julep and I wanted her to never stop talking

And I would have asked:
"Let's run away and hide, you and me

and from our little corner we can tease the world

apart"

And she would have said: "Why, that'd be wonderful,

but what's wrong with here and now?"

And I would have said: "No, here you would stop talking.

Let's go to where there's no outside,

And the world will be prettier because it's not there."

And she would have said: "You're mad, but you make sense!

I'll do it just the same."

But I didn't ask, because we don't do such things
