my baby is koa wood by Kalikala Smith
hollow bodied baby
c'mon and save me
tell me how to ring out this tune.
oh stringed lover
under my covers
won't you play your sweet sweet song.
your amber color moves me
your subtle curves soothe me
i'm enchanted by your rhythm all night long.
hollow bodied baby
c'mon and save me
please won't you sing me,
oh won't play me,
c'mon and sing me a song.
03/28/2007 Author's Note:
i sleep with my guitar
to let it sing to me
so i can sing back to you
its sweet melody.

I sleep with my Eeyore..he is soft...and can't play a melody to save either of us. :)
