Criminals of love FAWM 6 2020
lyrics and music by jean mann © blue flower friday records 

We were criminals of love in our hearts
Didn’t know which way the ladder hung
Rungs up or down or side to side

fall on our knees and read 
Louise’s “tales of burning love”

All the indecision came easily 
Slow at first then a steady stream 

birds shone on the sea of our eyes
horizon kept us there 

What a time it was, graced by providence and tide
Might as well have sent postcards
For the way we lived

postage came due
and all so much to bear

Our copy of slaughterhouse five tattered
Blue tape binding the spine, titled with magic marker 
So we could find it on the shelf
 
still we breathe, breathe in and out 
repeat the pattern in good faith

Studied over and under and end to end 
Took to the sea to see

sent a postcard home 
so we’d always remember 

Remember
We were criminals of love

stop lookin at the couch
I know you want to jump up real bad
but you just had a bath
and you're still all wet

i know puppy, it's really hard
to be told no when you want it so bad
but this time I can't have you climbing 
on my grandma's antique chaise lounge 
I'm sorry but that's just the way it's gonna be

and you're staring at me and you know I'm talking to you
but you're still staring at me
hoping I'll turn away 

for just a second or two
so you can do what you do
and jump up on the couch
and snuggle right into the warm spot

well maybe when you're a little drier
darlin I'll get an old blanket you know
I'll spread it on the couch and then we'll see
how far I let this "stay off the couch" business go
you know I wanna spoil you when you look so sweet and sad
but this time you gotta understand it just makes me look bad
cuz grandma's old chaise lounge is 100 or so
and I can't believe we're even having this conversation 

again

bath day
I know you think it's a bad day
but if you're gonna keep on runnin around in the puddles and fields and 
rollin in weird stuff, then it's just gonna have be
an occasional 
bath day once in while
you wanna look your best, right
hey, quit looking at me funny....

sunny.....
