Love Song (Your Devil) [Explicit] by Richard PaezI have your devil
right here, waiting
for you to sing again
['cause haven't you missed him
haven't you missed him]
[wrapping your fingers
'round the strings of
another instrument
plucking at songs
you only kind of remember]
Your devil, you run from
your devil's in the spaces
you seek to avoid him
['cause haven't you missed him
haven't you missed him]
[wrapping your lips
'round the neck of
another instrument
crying out songs
you only kind of remember]
it's hard to find the words
but the rhythm can't escape you:
(all the prayers you've ever made
to gods you don't believe in
and your sore, red knees
supporting your whole world)
{I have your devil
right here waiting
for you to sing
again} 01/13/2010 Author's Note: Much more an attempt at a short lyric than a poem, though I have no idea who I'd want to sing it...
