Tall Man - Bedouine

The tall man with dull eyes

He does what he likes

He don’t think twice or compromise

Is it so bad to be with someone like me?

I’m soft to the touch

Don’t ask for much

He tried, but he laughed 'til he cried

Circling words, him and I, 'til we tangled our lines

First thing in the morning

The last thing at night

I tried to imagine he wouldn’t mind

And someone else watching him gently sleep

In summer ???

He tried, but he laughed 'til I cried

Circling words, near and far, 'til we tangled our lines
