Patchwork Woman

on a sunny day we go away
and take a little stroll
out upon the shore, talk a little more
and find the grassy knoll
you say i don’t care for you in the way i should
you know i know i wish i would
but all the things i seem
just turn my mind to dream
of all the ways it could be good
but if i could make one woman out
of all those i have known
i’d include a part of you in her
if i could have just one comprised of all that i adore
in you and she and her
i know you would be well represented
something in a girl i once knew
mould a pain that plundered through
the hollows of my frame
left my limbs a name
turned my mind up into gold
the patchwork woman in my fantasy
would smile the smile she smiled at me
once upon a time, when my heart was blind
and my hands were free
still if i could make one woman out
of all those i have loved, i’d include a part of you in her
if i could have just one comprised of all that i adore
in you and she and her
i know you would be well represented
on a sunny day we go away
and take a little stroll
out upon the shore, talk a little more,
and find the grassy knoll
