Made of Steam

Tiny specks of light fly around the earth
Falling at the perfect speed, not too fast, not too slow
If their speed picks up at all, then earth lets them go
Two-week vacation, fancy dinners every night
Blue sapphire bracelet dangles loosely in the light
I pray for a ticket
That will bring me to your side
Steam rises up from the carpet on the floor
Chlorine from the jacuzzi’s all I breathe anymore
Fly me away, fly me away to your side
Sleepwalking through each week that we’re apart
The letter that I sent you has gotten no response
And I wait and I dream, I’m made of steam
Red ruby earrings that you roll up in my hand
As we kiss goodbye, tears welling up inside
Side-straddle on a moped heading back to town
Steam from the engine drift into clouds
Steam rises up from the carpet on the floor
Chlorine from the jacuzzi’s all I breathe anymore
Fly me away, fly me away to your side
Sleepwalking through each week that we’re apart
The letter that I sent you has gotten no response
And I wait and I dream, I’m made of steam
Five months pass me by
And the jewelry is long gone
And my dreams are only a mirage
How could I be such fool
To believe in you
When all along I’m made of steam
Steam rises up from the carpet on the floor
Chlorine from the jacuzzi’s all I breathe anymore
Fly me away, fly me away to your side
Sleepwalking through each week that we’re apart
The letter that I sent you has gotten no response
And I wait and I dream, I’m made of steam
And I wait and I dream, I’m made of steam
And I wait and I dream…
I’m made of steam
