In My Adjustment

   What kind of crazy place can this be,
   Full of demons, darkness and decibels?
   I need the light so I can see,
   But the colours might spoil the candles
   In the corner.

   Be my lady of the seas.
   Be my shadows in the trees.
   Hear my lonely melodies
   Of my TV memories.
   Be my only set of keys
   To the next room.

   Summertime air up against my face
   Blows the midnight hair up against my grace.
   Will I lose or end the race
   Against loving you?
