Clem Snide

I dreamt of an ocean blue
Underwater you and me
Let's not swim to shore
Just float forever more

We could hide behind the sun
Where no one will upset our fun
Let's take of our shoes
And dance away the blues

Was your sweet kiss just a dream
So real the taste of tangerine
You are my best friend
Forever, now and then

Lip synch me a melody so sweet and clear
Mouth the words of love like a feather in my ear

The thing no one can see is real for you and me
The place no one can go we'll put on quite a show

Blow a ring of smoke make it dance above my head
In this hall of mirrors we could put the bed

Use your slight of hand make the sorrow disappear
I will swallow swords for you I have no fear

I buried our love in the back yard
Until it thaws we could play cards

'Cause I know that it's hard when it's dark and cold
And all that you feel is yourself getting old

But summer will come with Al Green and sweetened ice tea
Summer will come and be all green with the sweetness of thee

So feed me a kiss chapped lips and all
And I'll bring back the tape of an empire's fall

I'll tie a string around my finger so I don't forget
Not to get so tied up to the things that I regret

Close the door but open yourself to me
Take off your coat leave it there on the floor

I caught you doubting yourself in the mirror
But you look good to me

Close the door don't let the cold air in
I don't mind to wait till your hands get warm

You could be comin' down with something
So I'll come down with you

Close the door then sneeze as loud as you want
God bless you he made the dust in this room

Love can be hard but it was so smart of you
Cause if you spend too much time
Alone in your mind you're through
And if the bedroom feels cold
Then we can unfold tonight
And your hand I will kiss
So unclench that fist it's so tight

You're everything I want to do
'Cause when there's love there's action

Give it away
Don't make 'em pay
And you're free
And if you're alone just pick up the phone it's me
I'll bring nothin' to eat
But I can tickle your fee
'Til you smile
I know they're closing the store
But let's lay on the floor a while

You're everything I want to do
'Cause when there's love there's action

Give me a shove and I'll fall in love
Don't wait
'cause if a civil war buff
Can love a diamond in the ruff it's great

You're everything I want to do
'Cause when there's love there's action

Don't let hurricanes hold you back
Raging rivers of shark attack

Find love
Then give it all away

Wrestle bears bring 'em to their knees
Steal the honey from killer bees

Find love
Then give it all away

Don't be scared to connect the dots
Dig for gold in the parking lot

Find love
Then give it all away

There is nothing in the world
I wouldn't do for you
'Cause there is nothing in this world
If I can't share my love with you

So many people in the world
They don't realize
So many people in this world
With troubled thoughts and angry eyes

All the riches of this world
Can't compare to your smile
And if only for a kiss
I would walk a thousand miles

There is nothing in the world
I wouldn't do for you
'Cause there is nothing in this world
If I can't share my love with you

There is nothing to be scared of
Love it's only one gray hair
There is love, there is love
Strong enough to doubt

Here's a napkin, dry your eyes
Don't cut onions in your mind
'Cause you have love, you have love
Strong enough to doubt

And you're the flower of my heart
That my thoughts can't tear apart
And we have love and we have love
Strong enough to doubt

Never have I been made to feel less doubtful
Never have I been made to feel less cynical
'Cause I haven't been to brave been mostly frightened
But I never though that there would come a day

Well I hope that your song's not be "boys of summer"
Just because you were both born on that day
And half-Jewish boys make kick ass drummers
But if you need lessons I'll have to pay
And I hope that your friends are true and funny
And your girlfriends are sweet and wear tight pants
And after your heart is gently broken
I hope that you get a second chance

Just let some air in
Just turn on some light
Just make some room inside

Never have I been made to feel less heavy
Never have been made less cynical
Cause I haven't been to kind been unforgiving
But I never thought that there would come a day

May the sun always shine on you
And each day feel so bright and new
And may god hold you in the palm of his hand

May the moon always light your way
And love be forever and here to stay
And may god hold you in the palm of his hand

When your time has reached its end
Then may paradise be just around the bend

If the world should turn it's back to you
And it seems there's nothing left to do
Then may god hold you in the palm of his hand
Then may god hold you in the palm of his hand

We'll soon make memories of thing to come
Time will pass
Memories of hard times and of fun
Will our love last

'Cause every moment must make way
For one that's new
But just before it does
Remember I love you

The years are like the clouds up in the sky
They come and go
And everything that lives will someday die
But our love still grows

'Cause every moment must make way
For one that's new
But just before it does
Remember I love you
