Clutch
I wear my need for you
like an old grey wool coat
threadbare and worn with heavy use
Tattered, torn, and the pocket's gone
I clutch it to me, pull the warmth of it
against my cold skin
A solitary tear leaves your eye
And my heart thaws in anticipation
Of the pain you trust me to soothe
Wrap myself tight like a bum on the street
I'll beg for your love till it warms my soul
like an old grey wool coat
threadbare and worn with heavy use
Tattered, torn, and the pocket's gone
I clutch it to me, pull the warmth of it
against my cold skin
A solitary tear leaves your eye
And my heart thaws in anticipation
Of the pain you trust me to soothe
Wrap myself tight like a bum on the street
I'll beg for your love till it warms my soul
