Hello Sadness

A wishbone hangs between your breasts I hope you haven't pulled it yet And if this little finger doesn't have the strength Then I'm scared that this bird's back bone breaks It's only hope that springs eternal And that's the reason why This dripping from my broken heart Is never running dry I wear a ring of your lipstick Around the knuckle of my fourth digit It reminds me what our bodies sowed It will do until we are betrothed It's only hope that springs eternal And that's the reason why This dripping from my broken heart Is never running dry Never running dry The space between your navel And your waistband was the ice Where two fingers pirouette But now these hang nails, they just slice It's only hope that springs eternal And that's the reason why This dripping from my broken heart Is never running dry Never running dry Your tongue, the tide, your lips, the shore I am the jetsam overboard Goodbye courage I christen all the ships that sailed On your little kisses' saliva trails Goodbye courage Hello sadness, again Little kisses come to pass, then Goodbye courage, hello sadness It's hope that springs eternal And that's the reason why This dripping from my broken heart Is never running dry It's hope that springs eternal And that's the reason why My broken heart is never running dry Now that those four fingers gone You leave me only with my thumb That constantly is pointing down The emperor bears teeth not frown It's only hope that springs eternal And that's the reason why This dripping from my broken heart Is never running dry Never running dry
