i read a poster in your mind,
it said
“wanted, wanted, a strangers borrowed wife
traveling the night
with stars so bright
she got out of sight”

singing oh, that ringing,
in every starlight
darling,
your deep-in-thought eyes
could see through the skies,
but i don’t wish to kiss you
so take down the warrant
that you issued
still
i read a wish in your mind,
it says
“wanted, wanted a strangers borrowed wife
traveling the skies
in the night so bright
she died out of fright”

swinging oh, that clinging
to you like a child
darling,
the gentle touch of your hand
could seep through fingers like sand
but i don’t wish to kiss you,
so take down that warrant
that you issued
still,
i read the wish in your mind
“wanted, wanted, a strangers borrowed wife
traveling the bright,
starry night skies,
till she got afraid of heights”

Wister oh, that glister
“ya like to read, mister?”
darling,
your words so tender
could be the reason i surrender,
maybe some day you’ll speak, you sophister,
but if never,
i won’t wish to kiss you,
so take down that warrant
that you issued
